Winter has finally come to New England. There's snow on the ground, and the temperatures have gotten colder. Sweaters, coats, hats, gloves, and boots need to be worn. Some people love the winter; they go outside and do winter sports such as skiing, or just go for walks in the outdoors and appreciate snowy beauty. Other people can't wait for spring; they don't like the snow and cold, and they go outside as little as possible while the cold season lasts. What kind of person are you? Do you have any suggestions to those who don't like winter on how to make the most of this time of year?

Journal Question #9
The man pictured above is Martin Luther King, Jr. He was one of the most important Americans of the 20th century, as he led the civil rights movement which helped Blacks in this country gain equal rights and changed the lives of everyone in America and the world. A great speaker, he could move huge crowds with his stirring and often poetic words. He was killed in Memphis, Tennessee in 1968 by a white racist, but there's no question that his spirit and influence live on. If you know about MLK, what do you think of him? If not, are there other great leaders that you know who have changed the world in positive ways? You might also write about the ways each of us can continue the fight against prejudice and racial discrimination.
