Your assignment this week is to watch the famous Martin Luther King, Jr. “I have a dream ” speech. You should be able to find it easily on the Internet. On Friday , Jan. 27, you will share one part of the speech with the class. In other words, you will stand in front of the class and repeat the words that Martin Luther King, Jr. said, and then you will explain the importance of the words. You must share at least 20 words, which is about 1-2 sentences. The only part that you may NOT share is the following line:
“I have a dream that my four little children will one live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.”
Be ready on Friday- we will do this during class.

Choose one state in the United States to research (not Hawaii). Tell me who the Governor of that state is, and share one major problem that the state is facing. Here is an example using Hawaii:
“I researched Hawaii. The governor of Hawaii is Neil Abercrombie. One major issue in the state right now that is dominating the news is the point fixing scandal surrounding the University of Hawaii football team. An anonoymous letter to the University President suggested that players were altering the outcomes of football games in order to beat the spread. This is a big issue because it involves gambling and it is illegal.”
Start early on this one- you may not do a state that has already been done, so you have to read other posts first. Posts due Friday.
