Hey, I'm not doing this text but from what I've heard I don't think it's a good idea to do this text as it is a prescribed text or something!! I'm not sure so you should check with your teacher first!

Some of the techniques that you could talk about are the repetition of several lines throughout the speech, the allusion ("five score years ago..." - allusion to Gettysburg Address), imagery (Negro lives on a lonely island of poverty in the midst of a vast ocean of material prosperity), alliteration (...come to cash this check...)

Most of this stuff I just either thought of while reading the speech or searched for "analysis of literary devices used in 'I have a dream' speech" in google. If you need any more help with this I would be happy to help!! Oh and by the way when you are mentioning these techniques make sure you go into heaps of detail when discussing the effect which these techniques induce on the responder or the flow, etc. of the poem itself from an imaginative journey perspective!!

hopefully there will be resources around in the forums under the "Advanced English - Module B: Critical Study of Texts" sub-forum for Martin Luther King. it is part of an analysis of 12 Speeches for that module, hence many question's threads will contain "speeches" or, the name of the person who delivered the speech (e.g. Socrates, King, Lincoln, Pearson, etc...), and have a browse through, or use the search tool.

alternatively, there are info under the Resources section of www.boredofstudies.org, under Module B - Speeches, among King Lear and others.
