I have a dream 说课稿
说课稿我的说课题目是I have a dream我有一个梦想，是高二年级十四单元的阅读课文。
一教材分析1．本单元的中心话题是“自由战士”，即那些为自由，民主，平等而战斗的人们。
听、说、读、写始终围绕这一主题展开。
语言知识和语言技能部分主要围绕freedom fighters这一中心话题进行设计。
而阅读部分讲述了马丁。
路德。
金为黑人争取平等权利的过程。
阅读课是单元整体教学的重要环节。
作为此单元的第三个课时，它的作用首先是对前两课时热身、听力、口语的巩固，同时为后面的语言学习语法学习提供了载体，并且它是学生获取有关MLK信息的主要来源。
2．教学目标●知识目标本课要求学生学习MLK主要生活经历，掌握课文相关的词汇词组句型，并再次复习被动语态，加深学生对教材理解。
●能力目标本节课的学习，要求学生能通过快速阅读抓住关键词，概括总结全文提纲和主题，目的在于培养学生了良好的阅读和表达技巧。
●情感目标对MLK学习，旨在培养学生对国家对人民的高度责任感，提高民族意识和对自由和民主平等的认识，从而树立正确的人生观和世界观。
3．重点和难点●重点：文章的重点在于训练学生的阅读技巧提高阅读能力，并让学生扩充有关民主运动和种族歧视的词汇并学会如何正确运用重点词汇和被动语态。
按照新课标的要求，阅读将继续加强对学生阅读速度的要求，词汇量的要求也大为增加，而高二的学生正处理能力提升阶段，对此强化学生阅读能力和词汇量相等重要，也就成了阅读课的重点。
●难点：就语言知识上来说，课文中出现几个复合句是语言理解的难点。
这里涉及到表语从句，定语从句，宾语从句。
名词性从句和定语从句可以说是高中语法句式学习得难点所在，但由于此两种句式相似之处，极易混淆。
如何正确分析和运用这些从句就成了语言方面的难点。
我们的学生生活在和平和繁荣的中国，未曾亲身体验种族歧视和民主压迫。
因此在文章内容理解上，如何让学生正确理解MLK毕生为黑人的民主权利而斗争的目的和意义，进而培养学生的责任心，调整自己的人生观和世界观，就成为一个难点。
“I-Have-a-Dream”的修辞特征分析
“I Have a Dream”的修辞特征分析[摘要]马丁·路德·金的“I Have a Dream”一直被认为是英语演讲中的经典之作。
文章从语音、词汇、句法三方面分析了这篇英语演讲的修辞特征,以帮助英语学习者更好地欣赏马丁·路德·金的演讲艺术、演讲技能,理解演讲的深层含义,提高欣赏水平,领略演讲的魅力。
1863年美国总统亚伯拉罕·林肯(Abraham Lincoln)签署了《解放宣言》,但这一重要法令颁布100年以后,美国黑人依然没有获得自由,依然悲惨地蹒跚于种族隔离和种族歧视的枷锁之下。
为了争取自由平等,民权运动领袖马丁·路德·金1963年领导25万人举行了历史性的示威游行。
游行队伍在林肯纪念碑前举行集会,马丁·路德·金发表了“I Have a Dream”[1]这篇激动人心的演讲。
马丁·路德·金为黑人争取自由平等,发动了美国的民权运动,功绩卓著,闻名于世。
他还被誉为近百年来八大最具有说服力的演说家之一。
[2]笔者就他的这篇演讲的修辞特征作一些探讨。
演讲是一种特殊的文体,其主要目的是激发听众的感情,获得听众的认可与支持,使人们接受或拒绝某种观点,采取或放弃某种行动。
演讲要获得听众的支持,一方面必须使听众感到亲切,另一方面又要使讲话稳重可信。
为了使演讲达到这种微妙的要求,演讲人通常运用多种修辞手段来增强演讲的感染力。
在英语演讲中经常使用的修辞手段大体上可分为语音手段、词汇手段、句法手段三类。
一、语音手段头韵法(Alliteration)是演讲文体中的一种语音修辞手段。
这种修辞手段是指相邻词首出现相同的辅音。
头韵的主要修辞作用是增强语言的节奏感。
例如:“dignity and disci-pline;great trials and tribulations.”头韵法的恰当使用不仅使演讲朗朗上口,富于乐感和表现力,而且还能抓住听众的注意力,给人留下深刻的印象,为演说增添光彩。

2．表示原因:表示原因的动词-ing形式一般置于句首，相当于一个原因状 语从句。
我并非没有注意到，参加今天集会的人中，有些受尽苦难和折磨，
有些刚刚走出窄小的牢房，有些由于寻求自由，曾早居住地惨遭疯 狂迫害的打击，并在警察暴行的旋风中摇摇欲坠。
You have been the veterans（老兵；老手） of creative suffering. Continue to work with the faith that unearned suffering is redemptive（救赎）.
4.继续说，接着说:He continued that he never thought that the chief engineer himself would come.他接着说他从来没想到总工程师会亲自来。
文：Go back to Mississippi, go back to Alabama（阿拉巴马）, go back to South Carolina（南卡罗莱纳）, go back to Georgia（佐治亚）, go back to Louisiana（路易斯安那）, go back to the slums（贫民区） and ghettos（犹 太社区） of our northern cities, knowing that somehow this situation can and will be changed. Let us not wallow in the valley of despair.
马丁路德金《I have a dream》演讲赏析
《I have a dream》演讲赏析每一场感人肺腑的演讲，其实都是演讲稿和演讲口才的完美融合。
演讲稿是演讲的支撑，演讲口才是演讲吸睛的法宝。
对一场演讲的赏析，自然要从演讲稿和演讲口才两方面谈起。
一、演讲稿赏析俗话说：“巧妇难为无米之炊”，一次动人心弦、气贯长虹的演讲绝对离不开一篇妙笔生花、超凡脱俗的演讲稿，演讲稿写好了，演讲就成功了一半。
好的演讲稿必定会闪现出思想的光芒，迸发出智慧的火花，而马丁•路德•金的《I have a dream》就是这些好的演讲稿中的代表作，在人类历史的长河中熠熠生辉。
《I have a dream》是一篇政治类演讲稿，强烈反映了黑人对于种族歧视政策的反抗和对自由平等的追寻。
无论是话题、内容还是层次，都具有很大的特点。
首先，话题的政治性强烈，马丁•路德•金在其中表明了他的非暴力抗议与联合有良知的白人的主张，鲜明地表达他的政治倾向，理性地把握住历史的发展方向；其次，内容的鼓动性强烈，语言表达富有感染力，思想深刻，发人深省；最后，层次的逻辑性严谨，环环相扣、层层深入、一气呵成、滔滔不绝。
下面展开内容进行分析。
马丁•路德•金开门见山，揭示主题，表明自己演讲的目的：鼓励黑人追求真正的自由与平等。
虽然只是一句话，但是包含了问候语和对自由的渴望与信心，霎时令全场肃穆。
随后，引用美国前总统林肯签署的《解放黑人奴隶宣言》这一充满人性光辉和契约精神的法令，从根本上诠释了黑人追求自由的正义性与正当性，给种族歧视者当头一棒。
接着反观现实，用四个“One hundred years later …”的排比句将理想与现实的巨大落差描绘得淋漓尽致，令黑人愤怒，令怀揣良心的白人倍感同情，极大地讽刺了种族歧视者与当权者背信弃义的行为。
短短两段话就已经收获了人心，达到了万众瞩目的效果，使演讲得以顺利进行。
然后，用一张“未兑现的支票”比喻《解放黑人奴隶宣言》，众所周知，支票当然是换取现金的了，其象征意义不言而喻。

关于《我有一个梦想》的文体学分析
A Stylistic Analysis of The Speech “ I Have a Dream ”Abstract: Martin Luther King‟s “I Have a Dream” is an splendid speach. The purpose of this paper is to analysis of some the of stylistic devices used in the famous speech.Key words: Stylistics, analysis, speech关于《我有一个梦想》的文体学分析摘要：马丁·路德·金的演讲《我有一个梦想》是一篇经典之作。
本文从文体学角度对于这篇著名演讲词进行了详尽的分析。
关键词：文体学；分析；演讲Martin Luther King, Jr, the foremost leader of Civil Rights movement in the 1960‟s, delivered his most famous speech “I Have a Dream” on August 28, 1963. On that day, more than 200000 Americans of all faiths, races and creeds joined a massive political demonstration in Washington D.C., pressuring the nation to grant blacks first-class status. On that historic occasion, the speech “I Have a Dream” recalled the miserable life of the black Americans, and pointed out the new direction of the movement. It was King‟s speech that pushed the rally to the peak. In this thesis,t he author tries to offer a stylistic analysis of the famous speech by Martin Luther king, Jr.I Have a Dream.1.Stylistics and stylistic analysisStylistics is a discipline that studies the ways in which language is used; it is a discipline that studies the style of language in use.Stylistic analysis is generally concerned with the uniqueness of a text; that is, what it is that is peculiar to the uses of language in a literary text for delivering the message. This naturally involves comparisons of the language of the text with that used in conventional types of discourse.2.Stylistic Analysis of the Speech2.1. On Grammatical2.1.1 ReferenceSome linguistic elements make reference to something else for their interpretation instead of being interpreted semantically in their own right. Reference is an important device for linking sentence with sentence and at the same time avoiding unnecessary repetition.In the text of I have a Dream, the phenomenon of reference appears in many places, more than 14. The following 3 are the typical examples of each type.(1) And so we‟ve come here today to dramatize a shameful condition.The pronoun we refers to I and you. There are many pronoun in the speech, which is an essential tool to unite the audience together. We means that the leader isstanding together with them, that they all have suffered the same inequality and discrimination, that his dream is their dream, that they must unite to fight for their own rights and freedom.(2) We can never be satisfied as long as the Negro‟s basic mobility is from a smaller ghetto to a larger one.Here smaller and larger belong to the comparative reference. By this comparison, the speaker told the audience that their living condition wasn‟t changed at all. They just have moved from a dirty and poor place to another one.2.1.2 SubstitutionSubstitution is considered to be an important device used to avoid redundant repetition. Substitution is used once as in the former sentence (2),where one is used to replace ghetto. It means that though they have move to a new home, the place they live in is still a ghetto.2.1.3 EllipsisEllipsis is usually employed for economy of words in spoken English and normal everyday written discourse. It is a common means of implicit cohesion between sentences or utterances, usually avoiding unnecessary repetition. Besides cohesive function, ellipsis has rhetorical function to express certain aspects of the meaning or message of the work. The device is used three times in this speech as follows:(3) We will not be satisfied until justice rolls down like waters and righteousness likea mighty stream.(4) With this faith, we will be able to work together; to pray together; to struggle together; to go to jail together; to…(5) Free at last! Free at last!In sentence (3), rolls down after righteousness is omitted, and in (4), we will be able is omitted four times before to. The omission makes the sentence more simple and cohesive in both (3) and (4). Besides, the ellipsis in (4) highlights what they have to do and have to face together. The short sentences here unite the hearts of the Negroes into one immediately. And the ellipsis of we are in (5) expresses the outburst of great joy when the oppressed people get their freedom.2.1.4 ConjunctionConjunction refers to the use of overt signals that connect language units both within and beyond sentences to form literary discourse. Besides cohesive devices, they also have the function of implying the under-relationship between sentences. They express certain meanings which presuppose the presence of other components in the discourse. By these conjunction elements,“one can comprehend the semantic relations between sentences. He can even logically presume the meaning of the following sentence by virtue of what has gone.” In this speech, this device is used 20 times, with the conjunctive components but, and, so, if, as long as, when, for, as(causal conjunction),and one hundred years later. Typical examples are listed and analyzed here.(6) But one hundred years later, the Negro still is not free…So we've come here today to dramatize a shameful condition.The adversative conjunction but indicates that what they had expected, what theyshould get, what the government had promised to them, the freedom, the equal rights and opportunities to the Whites, didn‟t occur.Besides, the word also expresses their disappointment, their unsatisfactory and anger. One hundred later belongs to temporal conjunction. It implies that so long a time, a hundred years, had passed, and they hadn‟t got what they deserved,which was too unfair to them. Then the clausal conjunction so arises, which combines the text naturally. It means that what they are doing and what they will do in the future is legal and reasonable.(7) And those who hope that the Negro needed to blow off steam and willnow be content…And there will be neither rest nor tranquility in A mericauntil the Negro is granted his citizenship rights.The addictive conjunction and used here indicates their determination to fight until their requirements are fulfilled.2.2On Lexical2.2.1RepetitionThroughout the speech, Dr. King repeats words and sentence. This is a very outstanding feature in this speech called repetition. It belongs to the stylistic device of syntactic over-regularity. The term repetition is restricted to mean the case of exact copying of a certain previous unit in a text such as a word, phrase or even a sentence, because all the over-regular features in literature are in some sense repetitious. Used in speech, repetition not only makes it easy for the audience to follow what the speaker is saying, but also gives a strong rhythmic quality to the speech and makes it more memorable.If we study the whole speech more carefully, it is easy for us to find many other examples of repetition used. For example:(8) But one hundred years later, we must face the tragic fact that the Negro is still not free. One hundred years later, the life of the Negro is still sadly crippled by the manacles of seGREgation and the chains of discrimination. One hundred years later, the Negro lives on a lonely island of poverty in the midst of a vast ocean of material prosperity. One hundred years later, the Negro is still languishing in the corners of American society and finds himself an exile in his own land.Here the phrase “one hundred years later” has been repeated three times, seemingly indicating that it is really a long time for the Negro to wait for the coming of the time of justice and righteousness.(9) But we refuse to believe that the bank of justice is bankrupt. We refuse to believe that there are insufficient funds in the GREat vaults of opportunity of this nation.The phrase “we refuse to believe that…” has been used twice to indicate the speaker‟s good hope.2.2.2Use of ParallelismParallelism is another syntactic over-regularity. It means exact repetition in equivalent positions. It differs from simple repetition in that the identity does not extend to absolute duplication, it “requires some variable feature of the pattern-some contrasting elements which are …parallel‟ with respect to their position in the pattern”(Leech, 1969:66). To put it simply, para llelism means the balancing of sentence elements that are grammatically equal. To take them parallel, balance nounswith nouns, verbs with verbs, prepositional phrases with prepositional phrases, clauses with clauses, and so forth.In his speech, Martin Luther King uses parallelism to create a strong rhythm to help the audience line up his ideas. Here are few examples:(10) …by the manacles of seGREgation and the chains of discrimination…(Par.2, two parallel noun phrases)(11) “there will be neither rest nor tranquility in America…”(Par. 5, two parallel nouns joined with “neither…nor”)It is traditionally believed that parallelism is used for the purpose of emphasizing and enhancing, esp. in speech, the ideas expressed by the speaker, thus always encouraging and inspiring the audience. We need not to be very carefully to find out many more examples of parallelism used in King‟s speech and classified as is followed:A. parallel nouns:(12) 1963 is not an end, but a beginning (Par. 5, two parallel nouns joined with “not…but…”)B. Parallel noun phrases:(13) So we have to came to cash this check-a check that will give as upon demand the riches of freedom and The security of justice. (Par. 4)C. Parallel infinitive phrases:(14) It would be fetal for the nation to overlook the urgency of the moment and to underestimate the determination of the Negro. (Par.5, two parallel infinitive phrases)D. Parallel prepositional phrases(15)…, when we let it ring from every village and every hamlet, from every state and every city, … (Par. 25)E. Parallel clauses:(16) …, have come to realize that their destiny is tied up with our destiny and (that) their freedom is inextricably bound t our freedom. (Par. 6, two parallel objective clause)2.2.3 Use of Similes and MetaphorsAs two very important types of meaning transference in literature, similes and metaphors are comparisons that show similarities in things that are basically different, which can be used to add vividness and vitality to writing. As Leech points out, metaphor is associated with a particular rule of transference which may be called the “metaphoric rule”. That is, the figurative meaning is derived from the literal meaning or it is, as it were, the literal meaning.Throughout the speech, King makes extensive use of similes and metaphors. In paragraph 1, for example, King compares The Emancipation Proclamation to two forms of brilliant light cutting through darkness. The first-“a joyous daybreak”-compares it to the sunrise, which (in this case) ends “the long night o f captivity”. In paragraph 2, he speaks of “the manacles of seGREgation and the chains of discrimination,” comparing segregation and discrimination under which the Negro people live to the manacles and chains once used on slaves. Therefore, it is very clear that the using of similes and metaphors can definitely add vividness and vitality towriting and make it easy for the readers or audience to understand.Now let‟s cite some of the similes and metaphors used in King‟s speech.(17) This is no time … to tak e the tranquilizing drag of gradualism. (Par. 4, metaphor)(18) …we will not be satisfied until justice rolls down like waters and righteousness like a mighty stream. (Par. 7, Similes)2.2.4 Use of ContrastAlthough maybe a rhetorical device instead of a stylistic one, contrast has also been used effectively, like repetition, in this speech, achieving the function of making clear the ideas of the speaker. In paragraph l, for example, “GREat beacon light of hope” is contrasted with “flames of withering injustice,” and “joyous daybreak” with long night of captivity.”As it is defined, contrast is used to show the difference between two things. Therefore, it is not very difficult for us to understand why the speaker king uses so many contrasts in his speech.(19) One hundred years later, the Negro lives on a lonely island of poverty in the midst of a vast ocean of material prosperity. (Par. 2)(20) Now is the time to lift our nation from the quicksands of racial injustice to the solid rock of brotherhood (Par.4)3. ConclusionAs we have analyzed above, stylistic devices are frequently used in the discourse of literary works especially in speech, to achieve certain specific purposes. The speech couldn‟t have been so famous and successful without the cohesive devic es analyzed above.Bibliography:[1] Martin Luther King, Jr., I Have a Dream, August 28, 1963[2] Wang Shouyuan, Essentials of English Stylistics, Shandong University Press, July,2000[3] Leech, G.

Lexical Features
King used many clear and common words. They are connected with everyday life such as p romise, check, luxury, fatal, equality, palace, soul, create, creed, fresh, victim, dream, happy, freedom, despair, beautiful, light, home, flame, daybreak, island, ocean and so on.
1)These words are quite familiar to the audience.
2)Considering that King’s audience were from different classes
and background, these daily words can help the audience to
get the main point of King’s speech and to resonate with him
emotionally.
At the same time, he also used some big words in his speech, such as segregation,, magnificent, unalienable, obligation, insufficient, vault, security and so on.
These words are used to create a solemn atmosphere, showing that black people’s urges for equal rights must be taken seriously and the non-violent campaign will not ended until they get equal rights.
In King’s speech, we can find that he uses many words of complete form instead of elliptical form to reinforce the effect of the speech. The
examples are as followed: I am, It is, We have, It would, We must not, We cannot, Let us and so on.
Such words of full form are pronounced much more clearly and have more emphatic effect than those of shortened form.
Beside, this speech uses many first personal pronouns. We (us) come many times, which almost cover every sentence of the speech.
We must forever conduct our struggle on the high plane of dignity and discipline. We must not allow our creative protest to degenerate into physical violence. Again and again, we must rise to the majestic heights of meeting physical force with soul force.
The use of first personal pronoun (We) help to emphasis the emotion and make the audience feel that they are closely associated with the speaker and what he said. The first personal pronoun contains the listener as well as the speaker, and show that they are in the same situation.
people to fight against their freedom and equal status.。
