Ok, for Speech

Ok, for Speech I am doing Great Speeches (I think that is what it is called). Great Speeches is where you find a speech, like "I have a dream" and pickout a section, write about your thoughts on it, pick out another section, and write your thoughts on it and so on. I really like history, and think that this will be fun, but I am having trouble fining a good speech to do (sometimes speeches get a little boring to read).

Any ideas?

back to the Inkwell

Eh... Hm. Check out presidential inaugural speeches, maybe Shakespeare if you're allowed fictional speeches. Richard III has some good villainy monolougues, as does Hamlet. I have not read the book, but a classmate in Brit Lit did an illumiated text project on Till We Have Faces by C.S.Lewis - very powerful part that he chose, so if you're interested in that look through it. I'll be back with more ideas....

I don't think that they can be fiction.

Yay, I found one! I am doing Teddy Roosevelt's speech at the laying of the cornerstone for the arch at Yellowstone National Park.
