Kia Ora and welcome!
Studio22 is a year 7-8 classroom that is part of the learning community at Kaiapoi Borough School in New Zealand. We hope you will share your ideas and thoughts with us and maybe we will learn a little about you too! Kids today are accustomed to, and comfortable with, participating, many times via technology, in a wide variety of activities day to day. This is one of them!
This is our Place in Cyberspace...
We hope you enjoy your visit:-)
While we are reading The Cay we will be presented with this idea. What does this mean to you?

I thought that was very cool though why did Robert Kennedy support Martin Luther King was it because he wanted to look good as presidential candidate or was it sympathy from his late brother John
Good question Ben. What I do knpow is that King was assassinated just before kennedy gave a speech to a largely black audience. He was adviced not to tell them about Kings death and to cancell the speech. Kennedy went ahead and before giving his speech he told the audience of King's death. As predicted the crowd became angry and upset. Kennedy used this opportunity to reinforce Kings message and this was the first time Kennedy spoke of his brother's death in public. Kennedy then delivered one of his most memorable remarks: "What we need in the United States is not division; what we need in the United States is not hatred; what we need in the United States is not violence or lawlessness, but love and wisdom, and compassion toward one another, and a feeling of justice towards those who still suffer within our country, whether they be white or whether they be black." Sadly two months later Kennedy himself was assassinated.
