Description

In this unit, pupils learn why speeches are important and what makes a successful speech. They learn to use the PEPs structure to organise a speech and identify the purpose of speeches, exploring how they can provoke an emotional response. Pupils write their own speech and deliver it to an audience.

This unit builds on the Year 3 'Introduction to Speeches' unit by exploring the features of speeches in greater depth. By analysing how speeches can provoke an emotional response, pupils develop a deeper understanding of the power of language to evoke strong feelings and motivate action. Learning the PEPs structure to organise their arguments enables pupils to strengthen their ability to persuade and captivate listeners. This unit prepares pupils for the next unit, where they will apply these skills to debates, using similar techniques to speak persuasively in front of an audience.
