Speechwriting

Today you finished off the MLK question-sheet that I handed out to you. The most important point that has been raised during our time looking at the speech is that speeches are designed to PERSUADE and ARGUE a point to the intended audience.

Next lesson we'll get stuck into looking at some techniques used in speechwriting.

Remember there are previous posts on the blog that are linked to speechwriting. Rather than reposting the same material again and again I will just label each post as "speechwriting" after the relevant lesson. To view these posts click on the "speechwriting" label on the right-hand side of this page.

P.S: You were also told about the speeches that you will have to prepare. If there's any particular topic to do with prejudice in Scotland that you'd like me to have a look at then please feel free to leave a comment on this post with suggestions.
