rubric
Break identified + climactic effect named = 4; break identified only = 3; misidentified = 2; not attempted = 1
Hints
  1. The pattern is 'I have a dream that ___' multiple times. The break is shorter and declarative.
  2. The break creates the climax by ending the established pattern.
Misconceptions to watch
  • Names early repetitions as breaks.
  • Misses the rhythmic shift in the final iteration.
