It goes without saying that this blog is mainly focused on the future tense as this is one of the Didactic Units that must be covered in the Second Course of the Compulsory Secondary Education according to the - to this day - two coexisting Organic Laws (Ley Orgánica 2/2006, de 3 de mayo, de Educación and Ley Orgánica 8/2013, de 9 de diciembre, para la Mejora de la Calidad Educativa) that regulates the National Curriculum and the Valencian Decree (Decreto 112/2007, de 20 de julio, por el que se establece el currículo de la Educación Secundaria Obligatoria en la Comunitat Valenciana) that develops and expands the general national law.
Nevertheless, the future is the time to come and it will only be what we dream of if you struggle today to achieve our goals and to make a better world for tomorrow. It seems to me so convinient to recall certain "historical speeches" that were a turning point and set in motion the longed-for change that impelled that speech.
Perharps one of the most important speeches in history was the one given by Martin Luther King Jr. in front of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington DC on August, 23, 1963. It was a speech that only lasted seventeen minutes.
Seventeen minutes to change history... Seventeen minutes to change the FUTURE...
What do you dream of?
Let's carefully listen to the powerful Luther King's speech and reflect (in English) on what our lives will be in the future if we dare to face the 'unattainable' challenges of our daily life.
