Each student will receive a rhetorical triangle. Using your new knowledge of ethos, logos, and pathos, review Dr. King’s “I Have a Dream” speech. Look for examples of each rhetorical appeal within King’s speech. In partner groups, you will need to locate one example of each appeal, but I encourage you to note more as you analyze the text. You and your partner can share the same quotes and explanations, but you must both record them on your individual sheet. In each labeled triangle, you must include the following:
Quote from Dr. King’s speech (including in-text citation)
Explanation of how King’s words are an example of the specific rhetorical appeal

Question 7 is a constructed response. This should be a lengthy paragraph addressing Kennedy’s purpose in the speech. Use specific evidence from the speech to support your answer. You must cite two quotes. Explain HOW each quote ties in directly with Kennedy’s purpose and WHY it is significant. Sentence starters using present tense:
