 When it comes time to use the excerpt from Martin Luther King Jr.'s "I Have a Dream" speech, you can copy and paste it from below:


an excerpt from “I Have a Dream”

Let us not wallow in the valley of despair, I say to you today, my friends.

And so even though we face the difficulties of today and tomorrow, I still have a dream. It is a dream deeply rooted in the American dream.

I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal."

I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia, the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood.

I have a dream that one day even the state of Mississippi, a state sweltering with the heat of injustice, sweltering with the heat of oppression, will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice.

I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.

I have a dream today!

-Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

Delivered 28 August 1963, at the Lincoln Memorial, Washington D.C.

When it comes  time to practice with indentations and tabs, use the excerpt from The Tempest, below:

ACT I
SCENE I. On a ship at sea: a tempestuous noise
of thunder and lightning heard.
Enter a Master and a Boatswain

Master
Boatswain!


Boatswain
Here, master: what cheer?


Master
Good, speak to the mariners: fall to't, yarely,
or we run ourselves aground: bestir, bestir.


Exit

Enter Mariners

Boatswain
Heigh, my hearts! cheerly, cheerly, my hearts!
yare, yare! Take in the topsail. Tend to the
master's whistle. Blow, till thou burst thy wind,
if room enough!


Enter ALONSO, SEBASTIAN, ANTONIO, FERDINAND, GONZALO, and others
