This lesson plan allows students to review literary terms, rhetorical devices and figurative language with a scavenger hunt through “I Have a Dream” speech. Then you can have students discuss or write about the speech using the literary terminology. This lesson can be modified to work well for everyone from students just learning about metaphor for the first time to AP students reviewing for their upcoming exams.

It includes examples of alliteration, allusion, anaphora, assonance, metonymy, hyperbole, parallelism, personification, simile and synecdoche.
