Description
Use these interactive guided notes with your middle school students to examine key excerpts and ideas from Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s “I Have a Dream” speech.
The speech is NOT included as it is copyrighted. There is a link included that will take you to the National Archives where you can view a copy of the speech.
There are 6 quotes to be examined in these notes that I call Pixanotes®. The objective is to help students analyze the metaphors and look at possible meanings of these quotes. There are several levels of scaffolding so you can reach all learners!
What's included in this resource:
★ Four levels of Pixanotes® with different levels of scaffolding that focus on 6 quotes (see below) and focus on the use of metaphors.
Level 1: Fully printed content and pre-printed pictures
Level 2: Fully printed picture flaps and no interpretation
Level 3: Pre-printed pictures and fill in the blanks
Level 4: Fully printed content and picture flaps (or moveable piece picture flaps)
Level 5: Fill in the blank content and picture flaps (or moveable piece picture flaps)
Level 6: No interpretation and picture flaps (or moveable piece picture flaps)
★Printable Picture flaps (Digital moveable piece picture flaps embedded into Digital Notes Pages)
★Printable Word bank (Digital word bank embedded into Digital notes)
★Digital Version of all 6 levels of notes using Google Slides
The 6 quotes are:
1. “One hundred years later, the life of the Negro is still badly crippled by the manacles of segregation and the chains of discrimination.”
2. “Now is the time to lift our nation from the quicksands of racial injustice to the solid rock of brotherhood.”
3. “Let us not seek to satisfy our thirst for freedom by drinking from the cup of bitterness and hatred.”
4. “I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up, live out the true meaning of its creed: ‘We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal.’”
5. “I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.”
6. “With this faith we will be able to transform the jangling discords of our nation into a beautiful symphony of brotherhood.”
I hope this helps you and your students take a closer look at important parts of Dr. King's speech.
