In AP English Language, the students had an assignment to write an "I Have a Dream" speech. They were able to use whatever tone they wished. We were not poking any fun at the speech, which is amazing, but we were trying to imitate some of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s rhetorical strategies. Some were serious and some were funny, but everyone tried to use repetition, allusion, and metaphor to rally their audience to a cause. I thought it would be fun to share mine, which was trying to rally people to root for the Los Angeles Lakers, even though they hate them. It was a fun class. The AP students are wonderful hard workers.
