THING #5 I gained quite a bit by looking at Flickr, because I was only barely aware in the back of my mind that such sites existed. It is good to spend a bit of time playing with them to get an idea of what is available and how they can be applied. When I looked at the general photos, I was stunned to see some recent photographs of my hometown, Tolar, TX. It is a small town and although the hearts are strong here in Tolar, most of the buildings are crumbling and the photos showing the old buildings made me feel just a piercing in my heart of protective instincts toward my community. Unfortunately, it wasn't posted in the general area for fair use, so I looked in the creative commons pictures and found an image of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. giving his "I Have a Dream" Speech. My students in my evening college composition are writing an essay analyzing the speech, and I am re-inspired every year when this asignment arrives. I should have students look through for photophraghs which apply to the literatur we are studying.
