Why this why now
This unit uses and builds on pupils' understanding of speeches and speech writing from the unit 'Women's rights across the ages'. Pupils build on this understanding by reading more complex speeches and using them to drive and inspire their own writing. Pupils also learn more about how to deliver their speeches, and become more expert in how to present themselves. This prepares pupils for their final spoken language unit, 'Spoken language masters', where pupils focus intensely on finding their voice and delivering their speeches confidently and compellingly.
Prior knowledge requirements
- Pupils can identify rhetorical devices in spoken language
- Pupils can identify how tone and pace are used in spoken language
- Pupils can identify how non-verbal communication is used in spoken language
- Pupils understand the conventions of a spoken speech
- Pupils use comparisons to compare similarities or differences between texts
- Pupils can use time conjunctions to organise a speech
- Pupils can use rhetorical devices for effect in their own writing
- Pupils can use tone and pace to vary their delivery
- Pupils can use non-verbal communication to aid in the delivery of their speeches
- Pupils have had practice in delivering speeches in front of an audience
