Choose one word on the “Big Words” list inspired by MLK you
made today in small group.
What does this word mean to you?
Give at least two pieces of evidence why this word inspires social
change and activism.
For example, I could write the word kindness and then share
how kindness brings about change in a way that is respectful to different viewpoints.
my word is freedom and this mean to me is. .That every body be equal, And this be free to be them self and make dream to come true. And people that were friend were separate because color could be friend again. And people who got jail because of color could be let free do what they want do for dream.
ReplyDeleteI choose kindness don't jude a persons skin color be nice like MLK he is so nice he loves every one don't be mean to others make friends. The word kindness brings about change in a way that is respectful.
ReplyDeleteThe word equal means you should treat people the same way you treat others because then it makes the feel different and we want everyone to feel the same way. It also means if someone looks different from you you shouldn't be mean to them and be nice to other people so if someone is a different culture or different skin you always treat them equal to make people feel good.
ReplyDeleteThe word persistent means to keep on trying no matter what happans. An example is that MLK was persistent to make a change for black people. MLK was persistent by trying and trying, evan if there were hard times.Being persistent can help by inspiring other people to be persistent about what they believe in.
ReplyDeleteTo me the word freedom means to not hold someone back and let them do want they want to do based on there personality and not there skin color. My reasoning for this is because when MLK was around black people and other races didn't have as much power as white people like they do today. My family are south asian and when my mom was growing up her family didn't really have freedom and that really made me think really hard about the word freedom and not just pick any word to do and to think about why it is really special to me.So that is why I choose the word Freedom.
ReplyDeleteI chose sharing. Thank you for sharing your culture.
Deletei agree omolara
Deletethank you flor
DeleteShare can mean a lot of things. To me share means not only sharing things but to share your thinking and culture. Sharing could inspire change because someone could tell someone else there culture example: an African American can tell a white American about their culture .Sharing also means not writing whites only on a shop and instead writing this is an inclusive shop. It would be nice if more people would share their ideas culture and things.
ReplyDeletewow that is a great thinking
DeleteCommitted means to me that you should keep trying no matter what roadblocks you hit. It was important to history because M.L.K was thrown in to prison twice and he got out and kept going. Also on the march people were scamming at him but he kept going.
ReplyDeleteI like your story because it shows feeling
DeleteEQUALITY-To me equality means treating everyone with the same rights, fairness and respect. Equality is also treating each person the same so everyone can have the same outcome at the end of the situation. Making sure everyone has an equal chance to make the most of their lives.
ReplyDeleteI love what you wrote because there is lots of detail in it.
DeleteFreedom means don't hold someone back because if you hold someone back they can miss out on something important or something really cool or fun and like 500 years ago there were slaves and they were treated badly and they being forced to take the laundry and do chores
ReplyDeleteFreedom is a word that stands out to me because it's something that everyone should have. So, no matter what colour you are, you're allowed to do the same things that other people are allowed to do.
ReplyDeletePeace is what stood out to me because peace is what made us together. It represents kindness and equality and thats what stood out. It has many more meanings that some people just understand but the most important thing that everyone should know is that peace is a solution.
ReplyDeleteJUSTICE means: to fight for your rights and demand whats right. People fight for justice in many different ways like protests, speeches,and etc. Peer mediators like the ones at our school and activists seek justice. If people did not fight for their rights a lot of stuff would be different. You CANT own justice, you have to work for it.
ReplyDeleteThe word I choose was harmony. Harmony means to live in peace and when everything is in balance. I selected this word because right now we live in a time where there is hate and disrespect. People don’t get along and can not agree on problems that can help a lot of people. Harmony inspires me because I like when people can be friendly and work together for better life.
ReplyDeleteTo me to have empathy means to be considerate and not look down on others but to help them and try to help the community. Empathy also means to have a lot of sympathy for others. I think being empathetic can inspire people to look at what they are doing, and make a change to start helping others. An example of how empathy can change people is that when a person is nice to another person people, that makes the person being treated well feel good. And then the person who was treated well will feel good. That makes them start listening to each other and makes it easier for them to solve problems together.
ReplyDeleteI chose the word power. Power means having control or command over others. When there is an unfair difference in power between groups, some people feel inspired to make change. During the Civil Rights Movement, white people had more power over black people. For example, white people were in control of where black people could eat and black people could only go to certain restaurants. Civil rights freedom fighters thought that this was unfair and protested to change it. Throughout history, men have had more power than women. There has never been a female president and men usually get paid more than women. Men also get better opportunities than women do. For example, in some countries, girls can't even go to school. I think that this is wrong and I would like to inspire change by becoming the first woman president.
ReplyDeleteDreams
ReplyDeleteWhat the word dreams means to me is something someone has been waiting on that can finally comes true. The word Dream inspires social change and activism because it makes you stand up for yourself and others. Standing up for what you believe in and not be afraid. Dreams make you a better person. Dreams are inspiration. Dreams can make you hopeful for a better tomorrow. Martin Luther King Jr. was hopeful. At the March on Washington for civil and economic rights for African Americans he spoke of the dreams he had for a better America. Like Martin I am hopeful that a change will come.
Malachi Mitchell
Courage is my word because Martin Luther King had the courage to speak in front of millions of people. He was also arrested a few times. To me courage is about being kind and being brave or about facing your fears. Martin Luther King changed America forever because of his courage and more. Martin Luther King had so much courage and never gave up on trying to get black people the same rights as white people. When he said the I HAVE A DREAM speech that took a lot of courage.
ReplyDeletegreat nice job matteo
ReplyDeleteFreedom is an important word to me because it gives you opportunity to be yourself. Freedom helps people make their own choice whether it is right or wrong. Freedom also helps us live the life that would make us happy. Freedom of speech is important because everybody should be able to speak their mind and voice their opinion. Freedom is one of our most important things in life because without it we wouldn't be able to be free, be happy, to the work we have the opportunity to do today.
ReplyDeleteEquality. To be equal and treat everybody the same. To include others. It inspires me to be nicer. To love and care for everybody. Equality could bring peace to everybody. To care for everyone and everything and have no racism in the world or no segregation.
ReplyDeleteMy word inspired by MLK is brave. This word speaks to me because so many people during the time of segregation were very brave and stood up and said this is wrong. This word inspires people to be brace and say when something is wrong so it can be fixed.
ReplyDeleteI chose love because you need to have not hate. It does not matter what color you are. We are all people. We can help by treating people the way you want to be treated.
ReplyDeleteCommunity is my word inspired by MLK. Community means to be together and help each other and not to be racist to each other. That is not being a community. If your neighbor needs help you should go and help them with the thing that they need help with. The world community could change the world and is a big word.
ReplyDeleteThe word I chose that is inspired by MLK is committed. I chose committed because when I think about it, it reminds me of people coming together and never giving up. Also it makes me think that we are all in a good community and we work in unison.
ReplyDeleteI choose love because don't be a hater be a loving person. Treat people gust like you want to be treated. Love is caring about someone not hating someone. Loving is kindness. That is what I choose.
ReplyDeleteNICE JOB EVERYONE

ReplyDeletePeace means there is nothing going on every thing is ok that's peace. Where there is no fights no wars or any racism. Nothing is happing that's peace.
