I Double Dog Dare You: Listen to All of These! 100 Top American Speeches

Martin Luther King, Jr.

Teachable Moment: Dr. Martin Luther King, 50th Anniversary of the March On Washington

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., galvanized the Civil Rights Movement of the 1950's and 1960's due to his remarkable courage and unsurpassed eloquence. He was right; those who were on the opposing side of the argument were revealed as hideous, sadistic monsters. They still are.

Unspeakable atrocities preceded and follow Dr. King's time of leadership. His actions and words still call forth men and women, boys and girls of all demographics to seek equality in America. And the price could be high.

This week is the fiftieth anniversary of the March on Washington, where Dr. King gave his immortal, 'I Have A Dream' speech. Hearing it is a profound experience. Please have your students listen. It is probably the most important speech given in the twentieth century and delivered by a winner of the Nobel Peace Prize.

Here is a resource to hear the "I Have A Dream" Speech on American Rhetoric.

Teachable Moment: "I Have A Dream" Speech Anniversary Today
http://mzteachuh.blogspot.com/2012/08/american-rhetoric-great-resource-for.html

Here is an excerpt from my blog "Books to Soothe Kids' Toxic Stress" http://mzteachuh.blogspot.com/2012/01/books-to-sooth-kids-toxic-stress.html

A third grader, small for his age, could really run fast during practice for his elementary school's Olympic Day. It was his way to shine. His tennies were worn out, so Teacher got him a new pair at Wal-Mart. He made the school proud. This school district was low income, and located near a federal prison, therefore many families were in the area to be living nearby to visit relatives. The little boy also worked very hard at reading, writing, and math, including those impossible fractions. After the January 19th holiday, he asked Teacher, "Why don't they make Dr. Martin Luther King bedsheets? They make them for Superman." He had chosen the better hero.

This is a true story, and I hope the little guy is now a grown, happy, and functional adult, since I last had him at school in 1995. He had the odds against him, but hopefully some encouragement from reading in school has remained with him.

This story of Dr. King and his profound words will be like miracle grow to the young soul, no matter what color his skin may be.

Teachable Moment: Book Review: Martin's Big Words

http://mzteachuh.blogspot.com/2012/03/book-review-martins-big-words.html

There are excellent resources to inform students about Dr. Martin Luther, King.

March on Washington: Throngs mark 'I Have a Dream' anniversary

http://www.cnn.com/2013/08/24/us/march-on-washington/?hpt=hp_inthenews

March on Washington's 50th anniversary commemoration draws tens of thousands

And some posters and quotes.

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.

The function of education is to teach one to think intensively and to think critically. Intelligence plus character - that is the goal of true education.

I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.

The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.

Every man must decide whether he will walk in the light of creative altruism or in the darkness of destructive selfishness.

We must develop and maintain the capacity to forgive.

Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.

He who is devoid of the power to forgive is devoid of the power to love. There is some good in the worst of us and some evil in the best of us. When we discover this, we are less prone to hate our enemies.

I refuse to accept the view that mankind is so tragically bound to the starless midnight of racism and war that the bright daybreak of peace and brotherhood can never become a reality... I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word.

Life's most persistent and urgent question is, 'What are you doing for others?'

I look to a day when people will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.

MLK aged seven. Do you have one in your first grade? Maybe your eighth grade class, or your American History class?

I'm very excited about this! MzTeachuh was recently evaluated by teach.com, out of USC Rossier online, and came out at 318. And now I have a badge. I feel so validated. Doesn't sound too spectacular on the surface--but remember, I'm just a blogging novice sitting at her computer in her Garfield pjs living at the backside of the Mojave desert. Maybe I should start rooting for the Trojans, always loved their marching band.

How About a Plant In Your Classroom?

The kids can organize a 'plant team' to schedule watering, fertilizing, turning the pot, and measuring for growth.

Also, for healthy classroom air, I strongly recommend a small air purifier. Really keeps down the airborn illnesses, and sweetens the climate, too (especially if you teach an 8th grade class right after they've had PE.)
