Martin Luther King, Jr.

In reading the blogs from Obama and Jobs, I can see a lot of progress! First, in terms of using thesis and evidence, both in giving relevant and in some cases best evidence and in citation (saying the page, paragraph, etc) .  Also, you showed me you are more comfortable with technology. ( A SPECIAL THANK YOU to all the students who helped the new students get gmail accounts and show them the blogging process!!!!) WEPA!  In addition, it was fun to see your comments to your peers, even across classes.  Nice.

This week as we blog about the biography Martin Luther King, Jr. , by Terry Barber, we are going to practice the skills we already know as well as, try to understand the important role that analysis plays in providing a strong evidence-based argument. Remember, there is no correct answer; rather the best answer is based on the strength of the argument (Thesis, Evidence, Analysis  and Concluding Statement).  Finally, I saw that we are not all using transition words, remember to do that as you introduce your evidence.

Show me how smart you are.........even though, I already know!!!!!!!!!

  1. Based on the biography, MLK by Torry Barber, the author reveals MLK to be a smart. First, on page 17, paragraph 1, the text says, " king is very smart. He goes to school. He gets his Ph.D." This means everyone go to school and get the Ph.D for many years is smart. Next, on page 21, paragraph 1, the text says, " king prenches at a Baptist church. His church is always full... King's sermons give people hope." I think when a people know to epeak, know how to do a person fell good, this people is very smart. In summary, this shows King is smart.

    First, on page 27 the text says "Martin Luther King gets hate letters, he gets death threats and he even gets stabbed but he still kept up with the protest. I think that most people that got stabbed and received those hate letters would stop prostesting, because nobody wants to die and leave their family. Also, on page 29 paragraph 1 the text says " he goes to jail for taking part in this protest. I believe that a brave person doesn't scared of dying or locked up for their dream. This shows king is brave because he standed for his dream.
