SEMANA 32: DEL 6 AL 10 DE MARZO - WEEK 32: FROM MARCH 6 TO 10 2017

We have honored Black History Month by learning and writing biographies about important leaders. 

LA VIDA DE MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR.

Martin Luther King, Jr. nació el 15 de enero de 1929 en Atlanta, Georgia.Martin estudió en universidades religiosas en Boston y Philadelphia. Su abuelo y su padre fueron pastores. MLK se casó con Coretta Scott y tuvieron cuatro hijos. El Doctor King fue también un pastor, abogado y activista de los Derechos Civiles. MLK fue inspirado por Gandhi.

En 1964 MLK ganó el premio Nobel de Paz porque él luchó por la igualdad de todos y por terminar la segregación entre blancos y negros. Desafortunadamente, Martin Luther King, Jr. fue asesinado en Memphis, Tennessee en 1968. Este activista es recordado por su discurso memorable “I have a dream” (Yo tengo un sueño). 

LA VIDA DE NELSON MANDELA

Nelson Mandela nació el 18 de Julio de 1918 en Sur África. Su primer profesor cambió su nombre a Nelson Mandela. Mandela estudió en una escuela privada pero fue expulsado. El padre de Mandela tuvo cuatro esposas y fue rico. Nelson Mandela tuvo tres esposas y seis hijos. Más tarde él tuvo su primera firma de abogados. Mandela fue a la cárcel por casi 30 años por luchar por los derechos de igualdad. Cuando Mandela fue libre, él ganó el Premio Nobel de Paz en 1993 y fue elegido como el primer presidente negro de Sur África. Desafortunadamente Mandela murió el 5 de diciembre de 2013. Este activista es recordado por la lucha de igualdad para todos.

SOME IMPORTANT REMINDERS

1. Students need to remain in silence while the student is presenting. If you start laughing or talking during the project presentation, your teacher will remove you from the classroom and your parent will be contacted. Let's show respect and consideration to the presenters. Most of you get so nervous when you are in front of the class. 

2. If you have a question wait at the end of the presentation, you only need to raise your hand.

3. The presentation is in Spanish and the slides of the power point must have Spanish only as well. 

4. Copy of the biography with some questions need to be handed during the presentation.

5. Handing the rubric to the teacher is a MUST before presentation. No rubric, no presentation.

6. Students will take notes. If you don't get the notes completely for any reason, you can finish at home or later with the class together. This will be your homework. 

7. If you don't present on the assigned date, you will not be guaranteed you will have a make-up. There is a big chance you will come during tutorial time to make up the missing assignment.
