Maya Angelou and Dr. King Speaking

Room 11,

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. I know we tried this last week, but I think it will work a little bit
this time because I have made some changes.

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 you have written and respond to it. If you had problems with the sound write about that. Let me know if you have any questions. Good Luck!

Mr. Bianchi

I thought Maya's poems were heavy. I'm not sure what I think about some of the words she used. They were very strong.

I thought Maya's poem called The calling of names was very strong because it had a word that ofended black people.

I always thought that ML's voices was different... His voice sounded like shakespeare or something. Other than that it was pretty deep. I like how he knew that people would remember his speech for a long time.(first line)

I thought the one by Maya Angelou-the thirteens was ver deep but it was also kind of depressing at the same time in a weird way.
