I did that for my half yearly and journeys portfolio as well; it's a pretty good text.

Some ideas I extracted from it were (from the top of my head):

- King's 'vision' - how imaginative journeys occur through speculation
- King refers to the past as well as the future eg: the American government's from for civil rights to amfrican americans etc
-imaginative journeys can be personal - king presents his own vision/goal
- it also shows imaginative journeys can be shared - king is sharing his journey to a wider audience - talk about how journeys can be 'layered' - ie: the text encompasses more than one journey.
- look at King's use of oratorical techniques eg: rhetoric, allusion - Gettysburg address etc.
- I did the text only, but if you want to look at the use of tone, pause, pace etc you can do the actual delivery of the speech - it's eaisly found online.

Hope it helps. Good luck. :)

I did it as well but my teacher told me I can't do it in the trials or actual HSC because it's already on the HSC list for the speeches module. I don't advise you do I have a dream because you would be taking a huge risk.

Well that's what my teacher said, yes. But if your teacher is fine with it (ask them) then use it. Just be extremely careful if using it for the actual HSC exams. Are your trials in 2 days? Wow that's early

Damn...good luck! I would hate to be in your shoes - haven't even finished the coursework for any subject.
