1. I Have a Dream Speech

2. What is your topic? What is something you are passionate about?

3. 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.)

4. 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.

5. 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.

6. 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.”

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