Before we read "I Have a Dream" to dig into the rhetorical and persuasive strategies that King employs, we watch the speech on Youtube and analyze his speaking skills. It's powerful to watch and see the ways King engages such a large audience, and it's a more fun way to "first-read" the passage. The assignment contains a link to the video for students to re-watch, a prompt, a paragraph outline, and a topic sentence starter for students who struggle to begin writing an analytical paragraph.
