How Big Are Martin’s Big Words?

Students read an excerpt from Dr. King’s “I Have a Dream” speech and note the “big” words. Students then choose one of two options: (1) they write about their own “big” words and dreams in stapled or stitched books, or (2) they construct found poems using an excerpt from one of King’s speeches.
