"If I Had Sneezed..." is an excerpt from the "Mountaintop" speech (the last speech Dr. King gave before he was assassinated in Memphis the next day.) I tried to read "I Have a Dream" with my 8th grade students in preparation for MLK Day, but I found that my IEP students were really struggling with it. This is a much easier text to understand AND more high interest! I let them listen to the speech as we read. This is the link I use from Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2pH9OCf2wLQ)
