GCSE Speaking and Listening Full Unit - Persuasive Speeches

This is a unit designed to complete the speaking and listening component for GCSE students in around 6 to 8 lessons. The unit also covers persuasive writing skills needed for the English Language exam and was additionally used as a pre-reading exercise for Animal Farm. However, the unit can easily be adapted to remove the links to this text and stands as a discrete unit in its own right.

The lessons ask students to develop a persuasive speech based on what qualities they think a Prime Minister should have and then go on to endorse one of three candidates for the job. There is a range of tasks throughout the lessons which are fully resourced and differentiated. The unit covers the planning, writing, rehearsal and performance of their final speeches and contains guidance for the formal assessment of the Spoken Language component.

Lesson 1 of the Unit is available in my shop as a free download to give an indication of the type of work and standard of resource throughout the unit.
