The history about his upbringing being in the oldest Black fraternity at Morehouse college in Atlanta, GA. How his wife was also an activist and led to them settling down where he joined the Dexter Avenue Baptist church where he would begin his journey into fighting for black equality from meeting Rosa Parks and helping overcome the segregationist system. He helped encourage people to fight and show that being patient and waiting for time to undo the damage was resorting to "never". ]]> 2023-04-18 18:24:01 UTC https://padlet.com/tguerinr/a3sts6z1vtoxlqbr/wish/2559035468 tguerinr https://padlet.com/tguerinr/a3sts6z1vtoxlqbr/wish/2559639698 Students will listen to an activism poem about bullying.

I went deeper and chose more around the MLK movement because I think we need now more than ever peace and equality and we have come so far and I have such high hopes for our generation and the diverse minds we are raising and teaching that one day we will be able to fulfill MLKs dream. ]]> 2023-04-21 00:06:38 UTC https://padlet.com/tguerinr/a3sts6z1vtoxlqbr/wish/2562509838 tguerinr https://padlet.com/tguerinr/a3sts6z1vtoxlqbr/wish/2566269290 It connects to social justice because activist are fighting to have their human rights and freedom respected.

I would ask the students to point out anything that they notice. I would then go on to introduce MLK  Jr. himself, his background, history, what he believed in. I would play the speech "I have a dream..." We would then go on to writing our own "I have a dream..." speech. Students would be given a piece of paper with the writing prompt on it, and students would have to choose an idea that they are passionate about and being writing what they would want to future to look like. ]]> 2023-04-24 21:17:09 UTC https://padlet.com/tguerinr/a3sts6z1vtoxlqbr/wish/2566287414 tguerinr https://padlet.com/tguerinr/a3sts6z1vtoxlqbr/wish/2566289416 Would this be a topic that you would have to run by your administration to teach inside the classroom?

If they are being bullied, students may finally gain the courage to ask for help and tell someone that what is happening is wrong. Or if someone is dealing with any issues at home. Activism reaches very deep into the moral compass and we as teachers are here to help guide students through that. ]]> 2023-04-24 21:22:37 UTC https://padlet.com/tguerinr/a3sts6z1vtoxlqbr/wish/2566290736
