Try and answer these questions in preparation for the quiz tomorrow.

When you are finished with the quiz you are to work on the following essay question in class. This assignment is coming from the top, it is grade-wide. Three 8th grade students will be chosen to read their essay at the assembly. This is a remarkable opportunity and I wish you all the best of luck. The final draft of the essay (which needs to be typed) is due by Monday. This will count as a H.W. assignment for class.
This is your task:
MLK quote for Assembly
MLK was an activist trying to create a better world. He once wrote, "Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere." Write a short response to this quote (no more than a page and/or something that could be read aloud in 1-2 minutes) reacting to these questions:
1. What do you think this quote means?
2. If Dr. King were visiting WMS, what do you think he might see as "threats to justice"? In other words, what might he see as areas we need to improve on in terms equality, fairness, assumptions we make, and how people are treated
as **Here is a tip from me:
Think about some of the lessons that Dr. Mikey talked about at the assembly that was earlier in the year. You might want to build from that. A quote that might be helpful for you, "Good, like evil isn't born but evolved." Do your best and be reflective.
