Cultural project

In February our cultural project will be on people, bands and books. You can choose the one you like, but don't forget to post it on the blog! You can choose the person you like, your favourite group or a book you just read. You only have to make sure it belongs to the Anglo-saxon world. If you have any questions, don't hesitate and ask me in class! Remember this time it has to be in English!!!

Martin Luther King

Martin Luther King was born on January 15th, 1929. Throughout his short life he devoted himself to the pursuit of equality for all. His method was non-violent resistance, a method which proved surprisingly effective.
