My all time favorite- " What Will Your Verse Be?"


TASK: Choose ONE out of the many presented in this article. Once you have chosen your favorite... watch it, watch it again... take notes.. watch again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Writing Assignment! Publish your response:

Develop A Thesis. 2-3 sentence statement. What is the speech about specifically.
Extract a powerful quote- Discuss the impact of this particular quote on the audience.
Evaluate the speech as an expert. If you were a speech professor on a scale of 1-10 how would you assess this speech and why? What is your criteria? How does it score?
