Now it's your turn to write a speech.
step 1: Pick a problem that affects a group of people. Perhaps it's a problem which also affects you or the people in your life. (For example:
smoking.)
step 2: Fill in the template for a speech given to you.
step 3: Write it out in paragraph form using figurative language like: similes, metaphors, repetition, alliteration, etc.
EX.:
I Have a Dream
The problem with cigarettes is that they are slowly killing our nation. We can never be satisfied as long as first and second hand smoke continues to kill the people we care about. We cannot be satisfied as long as we see the smoke as thick as molasses fill their lungs. We will not be satisfied as long as our family and friends continue to hurt themselves and the people around them.
I have a dream that people everywhere who are offered a cancer stick will respond "No!" I have a dream that all cancer-causing, tar-filled cigarettes will be thrown into oblivion. I have a dream that one day the world will be cigarette-free.
When my dream takes shape in reality, I shall praise God, for he is good, and I shall say to the world, "Thank you! It was too late for my grandmother, but it may not be too late for yours."
