Here's a link to MLK giving his "I Have A Dream" speech from 1963 on youtube
Journal # 17: Write your manifesto
According to Wikipedia, "A manifesto is a public declaration of principles and intentions, often political in nature. Manifestos relating to religious belief are generally referred to as creeds. Manifestos may also be life stance-related."
Think about the MLK speech we read, which is like a manifesto in a way. Now imagine you were going to write a speech like that or deliver it in front of 300,000 people. What would you say? What is your personal creed?
Journal #18: Something I Hate
We're now getting into argumentative essays, so we want to explore where your strong feelings reside. For this prompt I want you to write about something you really hate. It can be something large or something minute. Explore it and why you hate it for 10 minutes. Then Part Two of this journal is to come up with possible solutions to this problem--write for another 5 minutes.
