I Have a Dream Speech

I Have a Dream Speech

• What is your topic?

• What is something you are passionate about?

TODAY

• We will spend several days working in the lab. TODAY YOU MUST:

1- Let Mrs. Brown know what your topic is.

2- Print off at least two sources you plan to use.

3- Begin your speech (writing) OR start your visual aid (poster, PowerPoint, etc.)

• When you are reading your outside sources, you should highlight and note what you are going to use.

• There is a correct way for citing this information, and you have learned this from Mr. Buerkle. Now we will review.

• Example—how it will look in your speech:

Just as Martin Luther King Jr. said, “I have a dream,” I, too, have a dream. I have a dream that bullying will end someday because bullying has caused countless harms and injured millions of teenagers around the world. I have a dream that bullying will end, but according to an expert on bullying among children and teens, Robert Johnson says this “is not possible.” It may be easy to agree, but I have plans for bringing bullying to an end.

Cite your sources. This is saying where you got your information from.

• When you use an outside source (not your

knowledge), you must use quotation marks “ ” around the quoted information.

• An example of an outside source is an Internet website or a person. Take a look at the top of your article. Is there an author? If not, look at the title.

• Ex:

Martin Luther King Jr. said, “I have a dream.”

• Make sure your citing of sources is correct, and if you’re not sure, ask. I will collect your speech notes after you present.
