Delivering a formal presentation

In 'Writing with passion', students use protest poetry and speeches as inspiration for their own protest writing. In 'Single Poet Study: Maya Angelou', students look in depth at the writing of a poet who is synonymous with writing as protest; in particular at the ways in which she used her poetry to voice support for the Civil Rights Movement. 

In 'Myths and Legends Re-Told', students consider how writers have modernised ancient stories in order to make them more reflective of modern values. In 'Writing with passion', students look at the ways in which they can use their own writing, inspired by key poets and speech writers, to take a political or moral stand.

In this unit, pupils learn about the different ways that writers have expressed their points of view across history. They look at some key techniques that writers use, such as motif and triad, before reading a speech, article, poem and song. They finally write and deliver their own presentation.
