Performance Task:
In this collection, the texts focus on the universal desire for freedom and the ongoing struggle around the world to win political, social and sometimes even personal freedom. Some
people argue that freedom is never given, it must be demanded. For this performance task you will be asked to connect information from 2 readings in the collection: the I Have a
Dream speech and The Censors to compose an argument in which you agree or disagree with the claim that freedom is never given, it must be demanded.
Be sure to:
 Identify how each writer addresses the struggle for freedom in his/her society
 Cite evidence from the texts to support your claim
 Develop the claim with valid reasons and relevant evidence from the text
 Anticipate opposing claims and counter them with well supported reasons and relevant evidence
 Organize your essay with a clear beginning, middle and end
