This Martin Luther King, Jr. "I HAVE A DREAM" product [Suggested Uses, Posters, Discussion Questions, exams/quizzes, Assignments, and more] provides students a chance to experience what happens when we fight for the betterment of everyone. This SPEECH allows students to read and analyze this canonized work about fighting for one's rights. 11th - 12th Graders will love this short work and product. Check it out!

SUMMARY:

Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. delivered his "I Have a Dream" Speech before a crowd of some 250,000 people at the 1963 March on Washington, remains one of the most famous speeches in history. Weaving in references to the country’s Founding Fathers and the Bible, King used universal themes to depict the struggles of African Americans before closing with an improvised riff on his dreams of equality. The eloquent speech was immediately recognized as a highlight of the successful protest, and has endured as one of the signature moments of the civil rights movement.

This 11th - 12th grade canonized work allows students to understand the need for standing up for equality and what you believe is right.
