I Have a Dream

http://www.americanrhetoric.com/speeches/mlkihaveadream.htm

Conclusion:
During Dr. King's speech he talks about how African Americans were promised freedom and equality, but still they were not free. He talks about how they have gathered to tell the American people they deserve their freedom. Dr. King tells about how they will not rest until African Americans how their freedom and citizenship. He says that the racism and the ways of the world will change.

Move 1: suspend Judgement
Dr. King does not put judgement on all white people. He talks about how not all white men are racist, that some white men are there with him during the rally when he gave his speech.

Move 3: Make the Implicit Explicit
An implicit statement could be that Dr. King is against racism, and most white people are for it. An explicit statement could be that Dr. King and some of the white men are against racism and segregation.

Move 4: look for patterns
Dr. King says over and over "I have a dream" to explain what the hope of the Afican Americans is.

Move 5: Keep Reformulating Questions and Explanations
What can the People do to gain their freedom?
What does the phrase " I have a dream" mean.
