Essential question: What makes a speech stand the test of time?
I'm at a conference, so a Sub is in! Do the following things:
- Read and listen to Martin Luther King Jr’s “I have a Dream” Speech: http://www.americanrhetoric.com/speeches/mlkihaveadream.htm
- Writing Section: Anaylize the speech using SOAPSTones
- (there are some copies on the big table, but students should also have these in their notes)
- Exit Ticket: Why is MLK’s speech so effective? What rhetorical strategies does he use? Why do you think this speech has stood the test of time?
- Extra time? choose a writing prompt from writingprompts.tumblr.com! OR revise your essays!
