The Six Principles of Nonviolence

On Tues. 8th, May and Wed. 9th, May we continued our exploration of the ideas of Martin Luther King, Jr. and the potential for students to make a positive impact in the world. If you were absent, you will need to do the following to make up what you missed:

1) Turn in your worksheet packet on the two speeches by MLK from last time.

2) Choose an issue that you feel strongly about that you would be willing to actually do something to try and change it. This issue can be anything that is of personal importance to you and something you feel is unfair, unjust, or just plain wrong.

3) Once you have an issue chosen, please read through the Six Principles of Nonviolent Resistance and then answer the questions  on the worksheet that go through those six principles as they apply to the issue you have chosen. BE SPECIFIC AND GIVE DETAILS!!! At least two answers per question.

Reading Handout: The Six Principles of Nonviolence - Martin Luther King, Jr.

Assignment: Putting the Six Principles of Nonviolence to Action

4) The final thing we did today was to create a survey of four questions regarding your issue that you can ask five different people for their opinions. This survey should be questions that directly relate to your issue and help  you understand what other people feel or think about your issue. Please avoid using just yes/no questions, but ask questions that allow them to express themselves. Please have the survey and the responses you collect ready for next time. Do NOT write down the names of the people you ask, just what there responses are.

Thank You.
