    So Assignment #3 is an essay about a speech of YOUR CHOICE.  

    Some pointers from me --- 

    1. Pick a speech that interests you.

    2. Don't pick a speech that is "too short" or it will be difficult to find rhetorical devices and quotes to write about...

    3. BUT ALSO... don't pick a speech that is "too long" or it will be difficult to pull it all together.

    4. PICK A SPEECH THAT INTERESTS YOU!!  Use the links that Mrs. Wolf provided to search for a speech.
