GCSE English Language - Speech Writing (AQA: Paper 2, Question 5)

This is a PowerPoint lesson to help students learn speech writing.
Starter: Watching and discussing a speech as an example.
Objectives: Learn to write a speech and apply persuasive language techniques.
Reminder: What is Question 5 about?
Tips: Top tips for speeches. I got my students to copy this down and show me that they’ve had a go at using these tips later in the writing activity.
Reading: Read the extract of a speech as a class. I then split my class up into groups and allocated each of them one of the highlighted language examples. I then gave them a few minutes to discuss the questions and answer them before feeding back to the rest of the class.
List activity: I gave my students about 10 - 15 minutes to brainstorm and reflect on these lists. It was inspired by Sarah Kay’s TED talk, which is linked in the lesson.
Writing: Write a speech. Students can choose an examples from the board of their own. They must try to include the persuasive features on the board as well as using the tips mentioned at the beginning of the lesson.
