Texsox Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 I am teaching the Gettysburg Address today and thinking what a cool speech it was. Pretty damn effective as well. In looking at sites and getting some ideas, I discovered a lot of people that had memorized it. That seemed so old fashioned. I'm wondering if anyone here was made to memorize that or any speech? BTW, I annoyed my math teacher when I had our students give math answers in terms of score. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
witesoxfan Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 I'd heard of people who had to memorize it, but we merely studied it. I did have to memorize Marc Antony's speech from The Tragedy of Julius Caesar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jenksismyhero Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 I still think it's crazy that the guy before him spoke for TWO hours and he only spoke for two minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially because the long speech was the tradition of the day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
