Instructions Step 1 Use YouTube to look up and watch four of these speeches: -Plato’s Apology, 4th century B.C. -Patrick Henry’s 1775 Liberty or Death Speech -Fredrick Douglas Hypocrisy of American Slavery, 1852 -Abraham Lincolns Gettysburg Address, 1863 -Susan B.

Johnson The American Promise, 1965 -Ronald Reagan Remarks at the Brandenburg Gate, 1987 Step 2 Choose four speeches from the list. Write a summary paragraph for each of the four videos you chose. These need to be your own summaries. Do not copy – That’s plagiarism. After each summary, ask the speaker two questions about the speech, as if the famous figure were present to answer your questions. Please put the YouTube links for speeches that you watch.
