Present your 'own' speech
Find a speech on YouTube and choose a fragment of about 2-3 minutes (maximum).

  • Analyse the fragment and try to make sure you know what techniques were used. Of course you can account for the choice of this particular fragment based on the use of abundant rhetorical devices. 

It may be a political speech, but don't hesitate to use a speech from a film.
