Mr. Benson’s 7th grade English students were given the assignment to write a 500-1500 word short story.  The emphasis was on the creative aspect of the writing process, and students were encouraged to write whatever type of story they wanted to write.  Naturally, the stories had to include all of the elements of a short story, but aside from that requirement and the word requirement, students were free to create their own masterpeices and ultimately, present them to the class.  Audio recordings were made during the class presentations.

In his “I Have a Dream” speech, Martin Luther King, Jr. was trying to persuade American to move forward towards freedom, justice, and equality, as well as trying to send a message of hope to Black Americans. If Dr. King were alive today and giving a speech at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C., what do you think he would say?

Mrs. Trull’s 8th grade English students were given the task to pretend to be Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and write a speech to be delivered this year as if they were addressing a gathering of people during a march in Washington for the first time since 1963.
