We have continued this week with our literary analysis from the 60’s/Civil Rights era literature. The students have been given the original version of Dr. Martin Luther King’s “Letter from Birmingham Jail.” Each student is to read the entire document. In addition, they have been assigned a portion of the document to complete assigned literary tasks. Specifically, we are going to compare/contrast the letter with the “I Have a Dream” speech and reflect on the overall effectiveness.
