WALT write engaging speeches

This week, students in Room 3 have been working hard on their speeches. They focused particularly on using specific language techniques to engage the audience and make their ideas memorable. We looked at different examples of speeches made by famous figures as well as ordinary people to understand what goes into a good speech. 

Take a look at some of their work. See if you can find examples of language like using first and second person, repetition, asking rhetorical questions, the rule of three and using anecdotes.

Colours, colours, colours so many remarkable colours to think about! Have you ever imagined what it would be like if we had a bit more radiance in our school? When I mean that I mean what if we had mufti in our school everyday? Our school would be more famous, we would have freedom plus the uniforms are much too expensive.
