Dr. King’s rhetorical style is identifiably unique, for he uses rich imagery, figurative language (metaphor and simile), repetition, allusions to famous people and ideas, and parallel structure. Using these stylistic features, create your dream speech.
Post your dream speech and comment on three of your classmates’ speeches. Be sure to take the role of POSITIVE, CRITIC, OR SUGGESTIONS, as you provide comments and questions.
Dream on!
There are arguments for and against citizens videotaping police. What is your opinion? What reasons might support your claim?
After making your claim, assume the role of ‘devil’s advocate’ and write a comment disagreeing OR agreeing and disagreeing simultaneously with two of your classmates.
Remember to be polite in your comments and look for ways to use appeals to logos, pathos, or ethos.
Have fun debating!
