Year 7 English students construct inspirational speeches.
Using key words and clauses from historical and contemporary speeches, English teacher, Karen McWilliam from Dane Court Grammar School, discusses themes and motives for her Year 7 class’s speeches. Some students decide to travel back in time, whereas others draw on modern events and news stories for inspiration. The students then mask together their own speeches using the list of key words and clauses given to them, exploring persuasive language as well as using and adapting cliches. At the end of the lesson, students perform their speeches to the class. Karen also uses this lesson with older year groups as a revision exercise.

Great lesson, can we download resources?
Are we really teaching children 'fighting talk'... how to put into words the desire to fight, to kill, to take care of our own and destroy the enemy? Hidden curriculum gone mad! Disgusting.
A good resource, develops vocabulary, but doesn't cover key techniques such a repitition, rhetorical questions, exaggeration, anecdotes etc...
