About This Lesson

They will watch the speech and identify words and phrases that resonate with them. Then they will create a poster combining those words with their self-portrait to personalize the speech’s message.
The lesson is aligned to the Common Core Standards for ELA and to the Ohio State Content Standards for ELA.
