I HAVE A DREAM SUMMATIVE ASSIGNMENT ANNOTATIONS
SOAPSTONE Watch the video that is posted to my webpage and fill out a SOAPStone organizer. Watching the TV broadcast gives them insight into the Speaker, Audience, and Occasion that is not apparent in the text alone.
GROUP UP! Get into groups of 2-3 students for a structured annotation of the text. Stay in the room. You ll need to get directions for each ten-minute segment of the annotations.
FIRST 10 MINUTES: Look for repetitions in the speech (there are a lot of them). Use the 51 rhetorical terms sheet to try to correctly label the repetitions you are finding. Also, discuss the effect of the repetitions you find. Repetitions Anaphora Alliteration Parallelism Parallel Structure Repeated Imagery
SECOND 10 MINUTES: Each group should choose three sections from the speech for an analysis of tone and diction. Circle charged words and discuss the tone MLK has in each of the three chosen sections. How does King s word choice change depending on the topic?
THIRD 10 MINUTES: Look for the comparisons in the speech (there are a lot of them). Use the 51 rhetorical terms sheet to try to correctly label the repetitions you are finding.
