1) Before you take part in the discussion, if you did not already do so for the bonus assignment earlier this semester, watch Martin Luther King Jr.'s famous "I Have a Dream" speech.

-OR-

2) Watch another famous speech from this website: www. americanrhetoric. com

You also need to have read the chapter notes and the textbook chapter in order to do well on this assignment.

While watching your video, take notes on the LANGUAGE the speaker uses--not their delivery. Is there anything in particular that stands out? What language devices and techniques does the speaker use that make the speech powerful?

1. Define whether you chose Martin Luther King Jr.'s speech or another speech. Post the link to the speech video you chose and note "time markers" of where specific language techniques were used (so that we can listen for ourselves).

For instance, you may write: MLK Jr. I Have a Dream speech: At the 7 minute and 44 second mark, King uses repetition of the phrase...and then explain in detail.

2. Point out 2-3 different rhetorical devices that the speaker used in the speech. Write out the particular quote or phrase and then define it with the type of speech technique.

3. Explain: Why is this language so powerful?
