Answer 30

I think I might be able to help out. So, basically, what you want to do is find everything regarding MLK's early life and whatnot.

Answer 31

Yes

Answer 32

I just feel like I am going to fail and repeat.

Answer 33

Okay, then, put it into chronological order.

You can do this, don't give up.

Okay, that's one fact.

Answer 37

Should taht be under Family or early life?

Answer 38

that should be under family.

Answer 39

ugh I don't know anything else D:

Answer 40

I can't find my outline in sapphire WHAT!? great...

Answer 41

Mrdoldum, could you help her out? I have other obligations so I have to leave.

Answer 42

Search him and some topic on scholar.google.com If you use "AND" it searches for things that have both. Example, "ham AND cheese" would only result in websites with both ham and cheese.

Also, go to wikipedia and look at the resources cited to generate the wikipedia entry. That is what those little blue numbers are.

Answer 43

I can't use wikipedia

Answer 44

You are not using wikipedia, you are using the sources that are found on wikipedia. Those little numbers represent the primary material that was the original source of the information on wikipedia.

Answer 45

oh

Answer 46

That is the best way to use wikipedia. It really helps you to find primary sources that are relevant to your topic.

Answer 47

I can't seem to find anything on google about his family.

Answer 48

@mrdoldum I can't fight any simple facts about him. And I have limited characters? What do I do?

Answer 49

I can't find something like "Martin was not his real name"

Answer 50

I am using this. My teacher want it form me http://www.readwritethink.org/files/resources/interactives/essaymap/

Answer 51

I found this with 3 seconds of work starting at his wikipedia page: http://www.thekingcenter.org/upbringing-studies It details that Martin was not his birth name.

Answer 52

I know it wasn't his birth name. I just need 2 facts about the subject "family" and 3 for "early life"

Answer 53

I can't seem to find simple one sentence facts.

Answer 54

You said earlier, "I can't find something like "Martin was not his real name". I just showed you where you can read a sentence that essentially states that.

Answer 55

oh! Sorry! I'm terrible today

Answer 56

I honestly have no idea what to do.

Answer 57

I just want to punch my reading teacher XD

Answer 58

I already have all 3 facts for "greatest accomplishments." Won a Nobel peace prize, ended segregation. and won justices for african-americans.

Answer 59

I have about 3 hours to turn this big assignment in. Any idea about what to do?

Answer 60

Well, he did not end segregation but he is probably the most responsible for it. Also, I would argue that he only greatly increased justice for blacks in america (not all blacks are African American you know). Blacks are still disproportionally represented in higher paying jobs, get higher jail sentences for the same or even less severe crimes when compared to whites, and there are quite a few more examples.

Answer 61

But are they valid facts? I can put on my assignment?

Answer 62

I would say the are valid enough. I can't really help you too much. I have no idea what this essay map thing is and cannot use it.

Answer 63

Well.

Answer 64

Do you have anything that can help me with the Famly and Early life thing? As I said earlier XD

Answer 65

if anything I'm most likely going to fail

Answer 66

@Luigi0210

Answer 70

The King Center seems to be a good place to start. It was made by his wife. Look to see if he ever had a source of inspiration or and event that caused him to do what he did.

Answer 71

hmm

Answer 72

I learned that he was a gifted child and he skipped a grade, Is that valid for early life? He skipped 2 grades

Answer 73

I don't see why not.

Answer 74

Can you share any facts with me?

Answer 75

@mrdoldum

Answer 76

I'm not going to do your assignment for you. I provided you places to go read where you can find facts. They can be simple, like the date he was born or died, or they could be complex, like motivations for why he did what he did.

Answer 77

Just got done the assignment (i think) I totally forgot about the loop holes in assignments! They can be simple facts! LOLOLOLO

Answer 78
