Maya Angelou and Dr. King Speaking

Room 14
I hope you enjoyed the speech that you listened to. I know that some of what you heard may have been difficult to understand, but I want you to try and respond to some of what these important people had to say.

So what you are to do is to pick a poem by Maya Angelou or Dr. King's " I have a Dream" speech. and write about something that you thought was interesting, that you agree with in their speeches. Also, think about something you do not agree with and then say why you do not agree with it. IT'S REALLY EASY TO JUST SAY "BECAUSE' , so think about it before you write.

Today you will write your responses here on line in the blog so that others may read what youhave written and respond to it. If you had problems with the sound write about that. Let me know if you have any questions.Mr. Bianchi

If I could vote, I would vote for Barack Obama, because he represents many different cultures and sees everybody as one. He is supportive of change (which we desperatly need at the moment)and is supportive of immigration rights, and stopping global warming.
I would also like Hillary Clinton to win, mainly because of her gender, but also becauseshe really thinks about everybody, especially elderly, ill, and babies; even the citizens currently living in other countries. She sees through race, religion, and nationality and actually looks into the heart. She's really not conservative at all, and is open to everyone.
I think Jhon McCain is huge LOSER. He is not supportive of immigration rights, or anything important. He looks like a giant, fat, nerdy, football-playing DORK.
