We are also going to be reading the famous "I Have a Dream Speech" and will be watching the speech as it was recorded in 1963. Students will discuss the impact of reading a speech versus watching/listening to a speech. We are utilizing our Junior Scholastic resource for several articles to wrap up our nonfiction unit.
