During our unit on speeches, we have read Susan B. Anthony's "On Women's Right to Vote" and Chief Jospeh's "Chief Joseph Speaks: On a Visit to Washington, D.C., 1879." There are so many amazing social activists who have changed our world in so many ways through the power of words. In you group, I want you to find a speech that has deeply impacted you. You may chose the two speeches above, or the speeches I will provide you.
Lessons of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. - Cesar Chavez
I Have a Dream - Martin Luther King, Jr.
Give Me Liberty or Give me Death! - Patrick Henry
You may also research and find a speech of your choosing. Read the speech and implement the literary techniques and symbolism into a social/political poster.
Have fun!
