I Have a Dream Speech Analysis Discussion Guide
This speech analysis discussion guide highlights the rhetorical devices used by King with margin annotations and correlating color coded lines underlined in the text. I use this key to show the students, "How did the author say it?" (a common core step when doing close and critical reading). Using this activity helps the students understand the speech better and helps them with evaluating what King was saying.

I Have A Dream Speech Analysis Packet
This includes a step by step thoughtful analysis of Dr. King's I Have a Dream. It is used with students who have little experience with the speech and is a good introduction. I use this as a group activity, a group of 4-5 students seem to work nicely for this activity. I have included a link to the speech, and I usually label each section--or you can ask students to do that as they work. I show the actual speech, there are many youtube versions. It includes a reflective essay at the end.
