Speaking and Listening - Stating Your Case and Linking Ideas Together

This lesson serves as an engaging and confidence-building introduction to any speaking and listening unit. Students learn to use facts and opinions to state their case about a number of interesting and topical issues, whilst also building towards using a range of connectives to link their ideas together.

The lesson also links strongly to PSHE and Citizenship, as students discuss a range of moral and ethical issues, whilst simultaneously building their skills of communication.

Included in the lesson are: a visually stimulating, step-by-step PowerPoint presentation, a student guidance sheet to scaffold and shape student responses, and teacher guidance to aid practitioner implementation.
