After Martin Luther King Jr. Day, we listened to part of his speech and analyzed the writing. We discovered some techniques he Dr. King used, such as repetition, elaboration, figurative language, powerful vocabulary, and evocative language that brings our memories or feelings. Students loved working on their own speeches. A couple of students even went on to publish them. Enjoy! * image from the National Archives and Records Administration, posted on Wikipedia. Martin Luther King March on Washington, 1963. By TaliaI have a dream that all children will have the money and materials to learn and grow , so that they can blossom into adults that will change the world for the good. I have a dream that all people on the face of the earth can learn without limits. Minds flowing with wonder, questions rippling through and answers following behind. I can imagine all of the people sharing knowledge and ideas. I don’t want to imagine this anymore. I want it to be. I have a dream that I won’t have this dream anymore. By RheonaI have a dream that one day all families will have a warm blanket and meal every day. I have a dream that nobody should ever have to pay the price of starvation or the price of hypothermia.
I have a dream that people will never have to search for food anywhere other than their own kitchen cupboards. I have a dream that anyone who wants it can have a snack whenever they want without having to work for it. I have a dream that someday kids won't go to bed worrying about stomach hurting because of their lack of food. I have a dream that someday I won’t even have to have this dream.
