Our Reaction to Segregation in the South
This interactive blog is designed for 5th grade students. There are many activities for the students to engage in on the blog. On this blog you will find a poll related to "The Watson’s go to Birmingham-1963" by Christopher Paul Curtis. There are also Creative Responses where students view photographs then take the perspective of either a black or white student going to school in the south. We hope you enjoy looking around our blog. Please feel free to comment on any of our posts.

ReplyDeleteI have big dreams for myself in life, and after listening to M.L.K.s speech I realized that anything can be accomplished. I’m sure as I get older my goals will change, but as of now this are a few of my dreams.

-Going to college
-Traveling around the world
-Living a long time

ReplyDeleteWe think the video was still moving. It gives us goosebumps to this day. We hope that Martin's dream is still being sought after today even though much progress has been made since his time.
