How Can Words Inspire Change?

Our new unit, which centers on the civil rights movement and the words of Dr. Martin Luther King, focuses on the question, "How can words inspire change?"

Think about a book, play or poem you have read that inspired you. How have you been changed by a book, a play or a poem? This can be any book, any play, or any poem you have ever read. Write about how the content of this book, play or poem inspired you and helped you become the person you are today.

Is this a tough one? Think back to those picture books from your childhood that taught you to never give up or appreciate the little things in life.

If you are very stuck, write about the most meaningful book, play or poem you've ever read and explain what it means to you.

Due Monday, November 14.
