The use of audio-visual will enable
students to understand a speech better. I will discuss
3. Who is Martin Luther King?
How body language, gesture and tone
of a speaker will help students to
understand the meaning better. Body language in a speech is movement of a
speaker which is synchronized with the words use in a speech. As an example
when a speaker says the word, ‘I’, s/he
may touch his palm on her/his chest. in a way to thank God, a speaker may spread
her/his hand out to sky . Bow down to show respect. Gesture is also will help a
speaker to deliver his/her emotions to the audiences. Martin shows his courage and determination in his gesture. The last one is tone.
Tone is the up and down of the speaker voice in her/his speech. Tone of a
speaker also can deliver his true massage. In Martin Luther King ‘s speech, his
tone is passionate and persuasive.
3. Who is Martin Luther King?
Martin
Luther King (January 15, 1929-April 4, 1968 is an American Clergyman, activist

racism not in the violence way but in the peace way.
b. What is the tone of the speech?
Passionate and persuasive. He does not criticize the white men for being cruel to
negro in the past, before the speech is made. He tries to persuade
the audiences to unite to gain freedom with white people who share same
mind with them. He keeps on repeating that he and his audiences share the
same dream-wanting for equal right with white man and to free
them from being enslaved.

(i.e.Repetition of phrases, emphasis on certain things said etc)
(
http://sixminutes.dlugan.com/speech-analysis-dream-martin-luther-king )
Repetition- repetition is made to always remind his audiences of the theme of the speech and what they should do to achieve the goal that is to gain freedom without using violence. It is also to show that his struggle is the concern of every black people.
one thing that is valuable as a teacher is the way he visualizes the abstract things by using comparison so people may understand his speech. In the classroom we can use this technique to scaffold students to understand something that is hard to them to understand. Below are the examples on how he explain that he talks something very important for their future by doing comparison.
Justice is actually already there for a long time but it is not use by people who may concern.
"But we refuse to believe that the bank of justice is bankrupt. We refuse to believe that there are insufficient funds in the great vaults of opportunity of this nation. So we have come to cash this check -- a check that will give us upon demand the riches of freedom and the security of justice."
"Now is the time to lift our nation from the quicksands of racial injustice to the solid rock of brotherhood." In this sentence he tries to compare what is happening to what what kind of thing suppose to be.

i. “I Have a Dream” is Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s most memorable speech. It was
delivered in August 28, 1963 . It is attended by more than 200,000 people in front
of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C. The intention was to gain equal right
from white people.

The poems by Erica Jong raises some
feminist issues. What are they?
I will discuss this
question based on a poem of Erica to
answer this question.
For my husband by Erica Jong
As a woman writer, she is
not
abode in a specific arranged time to finish her work. A writer may withdraw into solitude time in a way to obtain an outstanding
piece of thought. She feels contented of her husband’s understanding of her
job. Despite her sound of her type writer,
in her late night work, he still can sleep well. With that she is not enslaved
in a relationship called ‘marriage’.
Feminist
issues
a. A woman deserves her husband’s understanding.
b. Female works are more appreciated and accepted in
this era compare to previous century, mostly in 19 century.
c. A woman too, like a man tends to compare her pair
with other man. She attracted to a man who will to understand her needs.(stanza
2 of the poem)
Suitabality
as teaching source in class
a.
As we should consider of students’
capability in understanding the subject matter we are going to discuss in
class, the poem entitled For My Husband is not suitable to be brought as
teaching source in lower form classes. In detail, they still too naive to
understand the world of marriage. For the upper form classes the poem is very important to educate both girls and
boys students that they supposedly to find pairs who will to understand
their needs. Otherwise, they would be
going through an unhappy marriage.
Becoming a woman by Hillary Tham
Persona experiences in
her first time menstrual process. She becomes depressed by the process until her
grandmother assures her that the process is actually a normal process which all
women go through. Her grandmother educates her that menstrual process indicates
a woman maturity as a woman.
Feminist issues
a. A female goes through a menstrual process for
puberty which different to male
b. Close relationship between a mother and a daughter
is very important to
Suitability as
teaching source
Puberty process is studied in science subject, even
in the lower form. This issue is not a new issue to students. In the teaching
and learning process, a teacher could be able to get more feedback from students based on the topic they have
learned from science subject. In this case, you should check of their previous
knowledge before choosing this poem as a teaching material. Other thing that a
teacher may add in this lesson is students’ openness in learning the such
issue.
Do you think they are suitable to
teach at the secondary school level? Explain.
As mentioned above, the
suitability of a source or material used in class would depend on students’
background and maturity. In detail, students should be able to understand subject matters we bring in class. Sometimes sensitivity of the local also should
be taken into our account. Finally teacher’s discretion is very important. You
can choose any material you like as long as you reasons is widely acceptable.
Is Hillary Tham's poem more suitable?
Is Hillary Tham's poem more suitable?
I see two different experiences when we teach the
poems by Hillary Tham and the poems by Erica Jong. For example, the poem “Becoming a woman” by Tham and “For my Husband” by Jong will both beneficial students in
different way. In “Becoming a woman by Hillary Tham” may educate our
students with the female puberty while the later which is suitable for the upper secondary, may teach our students on what to do before they choose a partner/husband in the future. Both are suitable to the different ages of students.
The short tale from the Native
American group is about a girl who is unsatisfied with her life. How is this a
universal experience? Can it teach our students anything?
From your findings about his background, tell me about the dilemma he conveys through the poem CROSS.
Moral: Dissatisfaction motivates
someone to move towards perfection.
In the ancient time, marriage was
the lavish of a woman’s life. Having a perfect husband could be a great of
success which will make someone feels satisfy. The girl in the story symbolized
person who dares to take risk in a way to have a perfect life. In this modern
day, satisfaction has been measured in relation
to economic standing, erudite and expert.
As
students, satisfaction should be put in a high rank. Do not satisfy with the average
marks but try to achieve the excellent one. If students feel satisfy with their
average mark, they will not be motivated to do hard work. They should realize that,
there is no fast track to achieve success but to perform a great effort.
From your findings about his background, tell me about the dilemma he conveys through the poem CROSS.
His dilemma in “cross” is
his identity for being neither white nor black.
He is a son of mix races
of black and white people.
I find "Dinner Guest: Me" laden with irony and sarcasm. Briefly state if you feel the same.
I do agree
that there are irony and sarcasm in this poem.
The irony
part is when white people outwardly accept the concept of equality in their civil-right
to the black but still the questions “why” and “wherewithal” are asked. “Why”
could mean on why should the black people ask for equality and “wherewithal”
could mean with which to do to make the black people will satisfy with their position compare to
the white people.
The sarcasm
part is when the poet says in the democratic country, the only thing he can
enjoy with is the delicious meal served but not the way he is treated as black
people among the white people.
The experience in the poem Harlem is one that is true for many people. Do you agree?
Yes. I think everybody
has a dream to fight for. It could not be achieve in an easy way for there are many
obstacles to overcome. Even a 5-year-old boy has his own dream. It could be a
dream of having a bicycle with his favourite colour. The obstacle is how long
is a wait until his parent can grant his wish.
Langston Hughes fights for the voice of his people. What is the movement called?
