KS2 Victorian Speech writing plan/slides

This Year 4-6 plan with slides supports students to write a persuasive speech to the British Parliament. It uses evidence from the book ‘Street Child’ along with modality, conjunction-based sentence starters and the language of persuasion to help children to write a speech from Lord Shaftesbury to the British Parliament. The unit also includes debate and a final public reading lesson. The unit is designed to stand alone but can be used to build connections for those classes who are studying Victorian Britain and/or the book ‘Street Child’.
