"Letter from Birmingham Jail" - class day for essay


REVIEW: 4/6/10 CW prompt:
Martin Luther King Jr. made the following observation in "Letter from Birmingham Jail": "Shallow understanding from people of good will is more frustrating than absolute misunderstanding from people of ill will. Luke warm acceptance is much more bewildering than out right rejection" (paragraph 23). Write an essay explaining why you agree or disagree with King's statement. Use specific evidence from your own experience, observation, or reading to develop your position.

 
DISCUSSION: composing an argument response

I pledge to go above and beyond for those students who want more than "just enough"; those who are more concerned with generating motivating reasons to succeed than with identifying disabling "good" excuses for failure; and those who sweat out that 90% perspiration in order to transform that 10% inspiration from a dream to a reality.
