Persuasive speech
Description
Students are able to develop an awareness of how everyday texts seek to position them. Applying this awareness to their own writing and speaking will help students evaluate how best to position readers or listeners. Continued practice of writing and speaking formally in a familiar context will encourage students to feel more confident and interact successfully in different situations.
They will:
- plan and draft a persuasive speech where they attempt to convince their class to agree with their point of view
- analyse their persuasive speech
- present their persuasive speech.
