These samples were prepared by my students and are intended for educational purposes.
In looking at these examples please remember:
The Music/Video should be repeated 3 or more times
(Repetition is important)
The Music/Video should be done with worksheet activity
(Physical engagement is important)
If video does not load or play correctly check YouTube Video Help Page or Google Video Help Page
Also remember: These samples have been highly compressed and shortened to under 29 seconds and are not near as good as the originals that we use in class. To get the full impact, experiment with good projection equipment, Musical DVDs and Karafun Player. I generally use selections of 3 to 5 minutes and the video repeats 3 to 6 times to complete worksheets.
Listen/watch video at least three times. Do the activity: (Paste text to Word-print out worksheet)

1) MLK makes strong use of repetition-rhyme in his speeches. Clearly mark all rhymes.
2) List all the proper nouns -and visit them on Google Earth -paste 3 URLs of photos of places that MLK mentioned.
