Analyzing Famous Speeches as Arguments

• Resources & Preparation
• Instructional Plan
• Related Resources

Traditionally, teachers have encouraged students to engage with and interpret literature—novels, poems, short stories, and plays. Too often, however, the spoken word is left unanalyzed, even though the spoken word has the potential to alter our space just as much than the written. After gaining skill through analyzing a historic and contemporary speech as a class, students will select a famous speech from a list compiled from several resources and write an essay that identifies and explains the rhetorical strategies that the author deliberately chose while crafting the text to make an effective argument. Their analysis will consider questions such as What makes the speech an argument?, How did the author's rhetoric evoke a response from the audience?, and Why are the words still venerated today?

Featured Resources

From Theory to Practice

Nearly everything we read and hear is an argument. Speeches are special kinds of arguments and should be analyzed as such. Listeners should keep in mind the context of the situation involving the delivery and the audience-but a keen observer should also pay close attention to the elements of argument within the text. This assignment requires students to look for those elements.

"Since rhetoric is the art of effective communication, its principles can be applied to many facets of everyday life" (Lamb 109). It's through this lesson that students are allowed to see how politicians and leaders manipulate and influence their audiences using specific rhetorical devices in a manner that's so effective that the speeches are revered even today. It's important that we keep showing our students how powerful language can be when it's carefully crafted and arranged.

• 3. Students apply a wide range of strategies to comprehend, interpret, evaluate, and appreciate texts. They draw on their prior experience, their interactions with other readers and writers, their knowledge of word meaning and of other texts, their word identification strategies, and their understanding of textual features (e.g., sound-letter correspondence, sentence structure, context, graphics).
• 4. Students adjust their use of spoken, written, and visual language (e.g., conventions, style, vocabulary) to communicate effectively with a variety of audiences and for different purposes.
• 5. Students employ a wide range of strategies as they write and use different writing process elements appropriately to communicate with different audiences for a variety of purposes.
• 7. Students conduct research on issues and interests by generating ideas and questions, and by posing problems. They gather, evaluate, and synthesize data from a variety of sources (e.g., print and nonprint texts, artifacts, people) to communicate their discoveries in ways that suit their purpose and audience.

The "Great Speeches Collection" from The History Place are available here in print and in audio.

This website includes information on finding and documenting sources in the MLA format.

Preparation

• Review the background and information sheet for teachers to familiarize yourself with the assignment and expectations.  Consider your students' background with necessary rhetorical terms such as claims, warrants, the appeals (logos, pathos, ethos), and fallacies; and rhetorical devices such as tone, diction, figurative language, repetition, hyperbole, and understatement. The lesson provides some guidance for direct instruction on these terms, but there are multiple opportunities for building or activating student knowledge through modeling on the two speeches done as a class.
• Check the links to the online resources (in Websites section) make sure that they are still working prior to giving out this assignment.
• Decide whether you want to allow more than one student to analyze and write about the same speech in each class.
• Look over the  List of Speeches for Students to decide if there are any that you would like to add.
• Look over the suggested Essay Rubric and determine the weights you would like to assign to each category.  For example, you might tell students that Support and Research may be worth three times the value of Style. Customize the Essay Rubric to meet the learning goals for your students.
• Reserve the library for Session Three so the students can do research on their speeches.
• President Obama’s Inauguration Speech.
• Former President Bush’s Defends War in Iraq Speech.
• Former President Bush’s 9/11 Speech.
• Former President Clinton’s “I Have Sinned” Speech.

Student Objectives

Students will

• analyze a speech for rhetorical devices and their purpose.
• identify an author’s purposeful manipulation of language.
• identify elements of argument within a speech.
• write an analysis of a speech with in-text documentation.

Session One

• Begin the lesson by asking students what needs to be present in order for a speech to occur. Though the question may seem puzzling—too hard, or too simple—at first, students will eventually identify, as Aristotle did, the need for a speaker, a message, and an audience.
• The class should discuss audience and the importance of identifying the audience for speeches, since they occur in particular moments in time and are delivered to specific audiences. This is a good time to discuss the Rhetorical Triangle (Aristotelian Triad) or discuss a chapter on audience from an argumentative textbook. You may wish to share information from the ReadWriteThink.org lesson Persuasive Techniques in Advertising and  The Rhetorical Triangle from The University of Oklahoma.
• Next distribute Queen Elizabeth’s speech to the troops at Tilbury and use the speech and its historical context as a model for the processes students will use on the speech they select. Provide a bit of background information on the moment in history.
• Then, as a class, go over  Queen Elizabeth’s speech and discuss the rhetorical devices in the speech and the purpose for each one. Adjust the level of guidance you provide, depending on your students' experiences with this type of analysis. The questions provide a place to start, but there are many other stylistic devices to discuss in this selection.

Discuss the audience and the author’s manipulation of the audience. Consider posing questions such as

• This is a successful speech.  Why?
• Elizabeth uses all of the appeals – logos, pathos, and ethos – to convince all of her listeners to fight for her from the loyal follower to the greedy mercenary.  How?
• The tone shifts throughout the selection.  Where?  But more importantly, why?

Martin Luther King, Jr. uses an appeal to pathos in his “I Have a Dream” speech through his historical allusion to Abraham Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation: “Five score years ago, a great American, in whose symbolic shadow we stand today, signed the Emancipation Proclamation. This momentous decree came as a great beacon light of hope to millions of Negro slaves who had been seared in the flames of withering injustice. It came as a joyous daybreak to end the long night of their captivity.” This is particularly effective for his audience of people sympathetic to the cause of African American men and women who would have been especially moved by this particular reference since it had such a significant impact on the lives of African Americans.

Session Two

• Continue the work from the previous session by distributing the  Analyzing Famous Speeches as Arguments handout and discussing the assignment and what it requires. See the  background and information sheet for teachers for more details.
• Tell students they will be getting additional practice with analyzing a speech as an argument by showing a short  10-minute clip of a presidential speech . Ask students to think about how the particular moment in history and the national audience contribute to the rhetorical choices made by the speaker.
• Lead a discussion of the speech as an argument with regard to purpose and intent. Work with students to identify warrants, claims, and appeals.
• Ask students to consider how the author manipulates the audience using tone, diction, and stylistic devices. What rhetorical devices aided the author’s manipulation of his audience? Discuss a particular rhetorical device that the President used and the purpose it served.
• Share the Essay Rubric and explain to students the expectations for success on this assignment.
• Allow students to select a speech from the List of Speeches for Students . If they wish to preview any of the speeches, they can type the speaker's name and the title of the speech into a search engine and should have little difficulty finding it.

Session Three

• Take the students to the library and allow them to research their speeches. They should locate their speech and print a copy for them to begin annotating for argumentative structure and rhetorical devices.
• What was the speaker up against?  What is the occasion for the speech?
• What did the author have to keep in mind when composing the text?  
• What were his or her goals?  
• What was his or her ultimate purpose?  
• What was his or her intent?
• Remind students that the writer of the speech is sometimes not the person who delivered the speech, for example, and this will surprise some students. Many people assume that the speaker (president, senator, etc.) is always the writer, and that’s not always the case, so ask your students to check to see who wrote the speech. (They might be surprised at the answer. There’s always a story behind the composition of the speech.)
• Help students find the author of the speech because this will challenge some students. Oftentimes, students assume the speaker is the author, and that’s sometimes not the case. Once the speechwriter is identified, it is easier to find information on the speech. Help students find the history behind the speech without getting too bogged down in the details. They need to understand the climate, but they do not need to be complete experts on the historical details in order to understand the elements of the speech.
• If they wish, students can use the ReadThinkWrite Interactive Notetaker to help them track their notes for their essays. Remind them that their work cannot be saved on this tool and should be printed by the end of the session so they can use it in future work.
• For Session Four, students must bring a thesis, an outline, and all of their research materials to class for a workday. Remind them to refer to the Analyzing Famous Speeches as Arguments , the Essay Rubric , and any notes they may have taken during the first two sessions as they begin their work.
• The thesis statement should answer the following question: What makes this speech an effective argument and worthy of making this list?

Session Four

• Set up students in heterogeneous groups of four. Ask students to share their outlines and thesis statements.
• Go around to check and to monitor as students share their ideas and progress. The students will discuss their speeches and their research thus far.
• Have students discuss the elements of an argument that they plan on addressing.
• Finally, have students work on writing their papers by writing their introductions with an enticing “grab” or “hook.” If time permits, have students share their work. 
• For Session Five, students should bring in their papers. This session would happen in about a week.

Session Five

• In this session, students will respond each other's drafts using the Peer Response Handout .
• Determine and discuss the final due date with your students. Direct students to Diana Hacker’s MLA site for assistance with their citations if necessary. 
• Remind students that their work will be evaluate using the essay rubric .  They should use the criteria along with the comments from their peer to revise and polish their work.
• During the process of analyzing  Queen Elizabeth I’s Speech , consider showing the related scene from the film Elizabeth: The Golden Age . Though the text of the speech is drastically cut and altered, seeing one filmmaker's vision for the scene may help reinforce the notion of historical context and the importance of audience.
• Allow students to read and/or perform parts of the speeches out loud. Then, they can share some of their thinking about the argumentative structure and rhetorical devices used to make the speech effective. This activity could happen as part of the prewriting process or after essays have been completed.
• Require students to write a graduation speech or a speech on another topic. They can peruse print or online news sources to select a current event that interests them.  Have them choose an audience to whom they would deliver an argumentative speech.

Student Assessment / Reflections

• After peer response has taken place, use the essay rubric to provide feedback on student work. You may change the values of the different categories/requirements to better suit the learning goals for your classroom.
• Calendar Activities
• Lesson Plans
• Student Interactives
• Strategy Guides

Students explore the ways that powerful and passionate words communicate the concepts of freedom, justice, discrimination, and the American Dream in Martin Luther King, Jr.'s "I Have a Dream" speech.

While drafting a literary analysis essay (or another type of argument) of their own, students work in pairs to investigate advice for writing conclusions and to analyze conclusions of sample essays. They then draft two conclusions for their essay, select one, and reflect on what they have learned through the process.

Useful for a wide variety of reading and writing activities, this outlining tool allows students to organize up to five levels of information.

This strategy guide clarifies the difference between persuasion and argumentation, stressing the connection between close reading of text to gather evidence and formation of a strong argumentative claim about text.

Lesson Plan #: AELP-SPH0200 Submitted by: Douglas Parker Email: [email protected] School/University/Affiliation: Albany Academy, Albany, NY Date: May 30, 2001

Grade Level: 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12

Subject(s):

• Language Arts/Speech

Duration: Two 50-minute sessions

Description: Students need to understand that how they say something and how they physically present themselves are just as important as what they say. By understanding the dynamics involved in effective persuasive speaking, students will improve their overall confidence in communicating.

Goals: The goal of this lesson is to improve students’ speaking skills by understanding persuasion proficiencies.

Objectives: Students will be able to:

• Demonstrate the appropriate classroom public speaking and listening skills (e.g., body language, articulation, listening to be able to identify specific examples of the speaker’s coordination of talking and action) that would be necessary to influence or change someone’s mind or way of thinking about a topic.
• Define the elements of persuasion.
• Recognize the elements of personal credibility.
• Develop methods to analyze other students’ speeches.
• Understand outlining main ideas.
• Create a persuasive speech.
• teacher-prepared topics for persuasive speeches
• sample rubric (available in .pdf format)
• Sample Rubric

Procedure: During class discussion, define and explain how people make decisions based on what they see and hear. Explain that sometimes we have to use skills to convince others about our positions. Have the students recall and list their own experiences trying to convince their friends about something, and then ask them to share these with the class. Have the students pick a proposition that not everyone would agree with such as: nuclear power plants are superior energy sources. Have them write a 6-8 minute speech in outline form to persuade the class. Each student will then deliver this speech in front of the class while the rest of the students take notes and prepare to give the speaker feedback on the speech. 

The voice and the body are the best tools — every student is a natural persuader! They have done it all their lives. Every time someone enters a conversation, he or she engages in elementary persuasion techniques. It is true that any time students make a statement of fact, they are asserting its validity and assuming that their listener agrees. This speech goes further than a normal conversational assertion: now students have to assume that not everyone will agree with them from the start, and it is their job to make them see things their way. The goal of this speech is to change someone’s mind or way of thinking about a topic. This is not a speech to sell, as students do not ask that the listener do anything except to agree with them or to begin to listen to their way of thinking. Their message is, of course, very important in this speech, but their voice and body language are even more important. Here they will learn how their delivery can help. There are several important aspects of presentation to keep in mind; the academic elements of persuasion are:

• Body Language – Make sure that they have a proper posture. If their shoulders are sagging and their legs are crossed, they will not appear as being sincere, and people just will not accept their message.
• Articulation – Articulation means how their total vocal process works. There are several steps to this entire process. Students need to understand the process. First, they need air from the lungs, their vocal cords in their larynx must be working, their mouth and tongue must be in sync, and they have to make sure that they have got some saliva in their mouths to keep things oiled. They should be aware of their physical makeup to be able to understand how they speak.
• Pronunciation – Students need to pronounce each word. They must avoid slang, except to make a point, and not slur the words. They must avoid saying, you know.
• Pitch – Pitch refers to the highs and lows of the voice. Whatever they do, they must avoid a monotone!
• Speed – The speed, or pace, is an important variable to control. Between 140-160 words per minute is the normal pace for a persuasive speech. Any faster and they may appear to be glib; any slower and they sound like they are lecturing. If they are not sure about their speed, tape them for one minute and then replay it and count the number of words they used in the minute! The human ear and brain can compile and decode over 400 spoken words per minute, so if they are going too slow their listeners’ minds are going to start to wander as the brains finds other ways to keep themselves occupied.
• Pauses – The pause, or caesura, is a critical persuasive tool. When they want to emphasize a certain word, have them just pause for one second before; this highlights the word. If they really want to punch it, tell them to pause before and after the word!
• Volume – Volume is another good tool for a persuasive speech, but they should use it with caution. If they scream all the way through their speech, people will become accustomed to it and it will lose its effectiveness. On the other hand, a few well-timed shouts can liven up the speech! They must try to project or throw their voice out over the entire class – or speak to the last row.
• Quality – Quality of voice is gauged by the overall impact that their voice has on their listeners. Quality of voice is the net caliber of their voice, its character and attributes. They must try to keep the vocal quality high; it is what separates their voices from everyone else’s.
• Variance – Variance of vocal elements is the most important consideration of all! One of the most persuasive speakers in modern history was Winston Churchill. One of his most remarkable qualities was his ability to vary the elements of his voice. He would start with a slow, laconic voice and then switch gears to a more rapid pace. People were light-headed after listening to him! Even if they have no desire to run for political office, students can still use the tools of variance. Have them try to change their pitch, volume, and speed at least once every 30 seconds, if only for just one word. Never let them go more than one paragraph without a vocal variance. This keeps the class locked into the speech, if for no other reason than it sounds interesting! Let the students’ words speak for themselves; reflect their nature through their voices. If they use the word strangle, have them say it with a hint of menace in their voices. If they say the word heave, let the class feel the onomatopoeic force behind it. If they say the word bulldozer, make it sound like a titan earthmover, not like a baby with a shovel.

The Strategy: Appear Rational When students are trying to convince someone of something, they must first establish their credibility, or in other words, they must sell themselves before they sell their message. If people feel that they are not being reasonable or rational, they do not stand a chance. They must be committed to the ideals and goals of their speech and what they are saying. They should not use words such as maybe or might- the should use positive words such as will and must. Students must portray themselves as the authority figures in this speech, so they had better supply enough information to prove their points so that they can seem knowledgeable, and they had better know their material cold. People can usually spot someone who is trying to wing a speech. They should also appear to be truthful – even when they are really stretching a point. If they do not appear to be earnest, even if their message is the 100% truth, people will doubt their word and tune out their speech. Lastly, they must not be afraid to show a little emotion – this is not a sterile or static speech. Students’ bodies and voices must match the tone of their words. If their language is strong, they must present a physical force to go along with their deliveries.

The Class Reaction The class has two major criteria to consider after each member’s speech. First, the delivery. Were the speaker’s body, words, and actions in synchronization and harmony? Did one support the other or was there tension between the body and the voice? Secondly, were the students persuaded? Why or why not? Discuss what makes a persuasive speech work and how the intangibles effect a positive outcome. Assessment: The class will assess each speaker’s performance in terms of voice and body coordination and in terms of persuasiveness. Each class can develop performance assessments such as rubrics to facilitate this process (see sample rubric in Materials ).

Talking about marks, it comes as a 5 marks question. The breakup of marks for class 12 English writing skills – speech writing (as per CBSE Marking scheme ) is as follows:-

Speech Writing Format Class 11, 12 

Speech Writing Format – In order to write a perfect speech, we must be well acquainted with the topic and must possess a wide range of vocabulary, a thorough knowledge of the subject, some research, and excellent organizational skills. Here are the ideal format and tips to help you write your perfect speech.

A perfect speech must consist of:-

1. HEADING – The heading should be catchy and in not more than 5-6 words. You can go as creative as you want with this one just make sure you do not devote too much time to it in the exam.

2. OPENING LINE- This includes salutations, introduction, and the topic. Make sure you do not mention your personal details (name, school name, etc.).

Speech writing Example – Respected Principal, teachers, and my dear friends! Today, I (the name is given in the question) stand before you all to speak on the topic “(given in the question)”.

OR you could start with a quote related to the topic and then go with the salutations and introduction.

1. BODY- It is the main part of your writing piece.

2. It is always prescribed that you begin with a short introduction on the topic, it’s meant to be precise.

3. Then you need to explain the current situation, the problems (if any), and whether after any corrective actions, betterment in the situation has been observed or not.

4. It may include advantages/ disadvantages depending upon the topic in question.

5. Now here, it is important you follow a sequence. It is possible that you have too many points or very few points. When you have a lot of varied points, it is better you choose a few best ones and write a line on each. In case you have very few already, explain them in at least two lines each.

6. You have to strictly follow the prescribed word limit in a limited time frame so just do not go on writing and writing.

7. MOST IMPORTANT- Always begin with your strongest point. You can accommodate the weaker ones in between and end with another strong point.

8. Feel free to give your personal opinion in one or two lines.

9. It is very important that you do not deviate from the topic. There are chances you may get ideas linking from one to another that may deviate you from the main point. You have to refrain from doing so.

10. SOLUTION/CONCLUDING PARAGRAPH- Now, it is to be remembered that wherever you elaborate a problem, you always have to mention the steps being taken to improvise the situation and suggest a few solutions as well.

Now, it would be great if you could add a few quotes relating to motivating the people to take action.

Here also, the rule of STRONG-WEAK-STRONG applies.

1. Last but not the least, the concluding line, thanking the audience for their cooperation and their patience. It is very important to conclude what you’ve started. Never leave a speech or for that matter, any of your answers open-ended.

Below is an example from the Sample Paper by CBSE.

Speech Writing Question Answers – Previous Years solved questions (Sample)

Below are a few solved questions for you so that you get an idea as to how to attempt class 12 English writing skills – speech writing question well. Remember, the more you read and practice, the better it is. As per, CBSE guidelines, it should not exceed the prescribed word limit of 150-200 words.

1. As Mukul / Mahima of Alps Public School, write a speech to be delivered in school assembly highlighting the importance of cleanliness suggesting that the state of cleanliness reflects the character of its citizens. (150-200 words) (10) (CBSE Sample Question Paper 2018-19)

IMPORTANCE OF CLEANLINESS.

In the words of the great John Wesley, “Cleanliness is next to godliness” Good Morning respected principal, teachers, and my dear friends. Today, I, Mukul/Mahima, stand before you all, to highlight the importance of cleanliness.

Cleanliness is the state or quality of being clean or being kept clean. It is essential for everyone to learn about cleanliness, hygiene, sanitation and the various diseases that are caused due to poor hygienic conditions. It is crucial for physical well-being and maintaining a healthy environment at home and at school. An unclean environment is an invitation for a lot of mosquitoes to breed in and spread deadly diseases. On the other hand, not maintaining personal hygiene leads to a lot of skin problems and decreased immunity.

The habits learnt at a young age get embedded into one’s personality. Even if we inculcate certain habits like washing hands before and after meals, regular brushing and bathing from a young age, we are not bothered about keeping public places clean. For this, on 2nd October, 2014, the Indian Prime Minister launched a nation-wide cleanliness campaign, “ Swachh Bharat” to provide sanitation facilities to every family, including toilets, solid and liquid waste disposal systems, village cleanliness, and safe and adequate drinking water supply. Teachers and students of schools are joining this ‘Clean India Campaign’ very actively with great fervour and joy.

Good health will ensure a healthy mind, which will lead to increased overall productivity resulting in higher standards of living, thus developing the economy. It will boost India’s international image. Thus, a clean environment is a green environment with less people falling ill. Cleanliness, hence, is defined to be the emblem of purity of mind.

2. You are Ali/Alia, Head girl / Head boy of your school. You are deeply disturbed by the rising cases of aggressive behaviour of students in your school. You decide to speak during the morning assembly about it. Write a speech on ‘Indiscipline in Schools’. (150 – 200 words) (10) (CBSE ALL INDIA Board 2017-18)

INDISCIPLINE IN SCHOOLS

It has been reported that number of fights and cases of bullying has gone up tremendously in the last few months in our school. Good morning to one and all present here. Today, I, Ali/Alia, your head boy/girl stand before you to throw light upon the grave issue of “Increasing Indiscipline in Schools”.

It has been brought into lime light that disobedience of teachers, bullying, fights with peers, truancy and insults is becoming a common trend. Not only this, there have been complaints of parents witnessing a shift in their children’s attitude. This is resulting in a lot of children getting hurt emotionally, mentally and physically. The impact this attitude is having on kids at early age is disastrous and irreversible.

Not to forget the damage that has been done to the school property. Stealing chalks, scribbling on desks, walls and washroom doors, destroying CCTV cameras and the list goes on. By doing this, we are only letting us deprive ourselves of the amenities being provided to us.

After a lot of meetings, lack of proper guidance, excessive use of social media and peer pressure have been observed to be the root causes of the problem. The counsel is taking steps to improve the situation. Life skill classes are being made mandatory for everyone. Teachings will include counselling, motivation and inculcating friendly values.

3. The recent rise in incidents of violent behaviour of students is a matter of concern for all. The problem can be curbed if students learn how to manage anger. Write a speech on the topic in 150-200 words to be delivered in the school morning assembly. (10) (CBSE COMPARTMENT JULY 2018)

HOW TO MANAGE ANGER

Honourable Principal, Respected teachers and my dear friends, today I would like to share with you few “Ways to Manage Anger”.

The growing intolerance among the new generation resulting in violence towards teachers is a matter of grave concern. The old-age guru-shishya parampara is losing its sheen. Aggressiveness in students may be triggered by several things: as a self-defence reaction, stressful situation, over-stimulation or lack of adult supervision.

It has become the need of the hour to curb the situation. Life skills classes shall be inculcated in the time-table. Teachers should be given training to handle such defiant and hostile behaviour. Meditation and deep breathing also helps and thus, should be practiced every morning. Students must be taught to count till 10 before reacting in anger. Also, sessions on anger management and it’s far-reaching importance must be held.

Remember, Anger is one letter short of danger. It makes it all the more important to be able to diffuse one’s anger. It’s never too late to begin because a wise man once said,

“For every minute you remain angry, you give up sixty seconds of your peace of mind.”

4. Write a speech in 150-200 words on ‘Benefits of early rising’ to be delivered by you in the morning assembly of your school. You are Karuna/Karan, Head Girl/Head Boy. (10) (CBSE 2016)

BENEFITS OF EARLY RISING

Honourable Principal, Respected teachers and my dear friends, today I, Karuna/Karan, your Head Girl/Head Boy stand before you all to highlight the far-reaching “Benefits of Early-rising”.

“Early to bed and early to rise, makes a person healthy, wealthy and wise.”

The words of Benjamin Franklin have been backed by science. It has been proved that morning people are persistent and proactive. It leads to better performance, greater success, and higher standards of living. Rising up early also relieves stress and tension because it gives you the time to squeeze in a workout before you get distracted. This is why; morning people tend to be healthier and happier as well as have lower body mass indexes.

For this, one needs to maintain a proper schedule and has to go to bed on time. You should restrict the usage of gadgets immediately before going to bed and these tiny steps will help you become an early riser. Researchers have also said that early morning is the best time to study and gain knowledge. This will help you in staying ahead in the class and keep your grades up. Most entrepreneurs are early risers as they believe it is the key to a successful, happy and content life.

Hence, if you don’t develop a habit of waking up before the rest of the world, you won’t be able to change the world.

5. Your PGT English Ms. Geetha is a short story writer also. ‘Sky is not Far’ is a collection of her latest short stories. This book has won a national award. Write a speech in 150 – 200 words you will deliver in her honour in the morning assembly. (10) (CBSE DELHI – 2017)

IN HONOUR OF Ms. GEETHA’S ACHIEVEMENT

Good morning everyone! Today, I stand before you all to bring into limelight the “Commendable Achievements of our PGT English teacher Ms. Geetha”.

Ms. Geetha has made all of us proud by winning the National Award for her book “SKY IS NOT FAR”. The book is all about the infinite possibilities in life and that there is no such word as “impossible”. The word itself says, “I M POSSIBLE”. Nothing is unachievable if we have decided what we want and are working for it. It is very important to have a positive outlook and be fearless.

Through her book, she has given us all hope and motivation.

We all know what an articulate writer she is; she masters the art of short story-writing. She has contributed immensely and profoundly to the school’s literary society. Her works have a special place in the school library. A versatile writer, as she is, she has written books on various themes. Her other books are a work of triumph.

Thus, we congratulate her on this very special occasion. It is a proud moment not only for her, but for the entire school. She has set an example for all of us. Indeed, the sky is not far.

Once again, Congratulations, ma’am! Today is your day.

Speech Writing

Speech writing teacher resources.

Delivering an effective persuasive speech involves a combination of presentation skills and sharp rhetorical tools. A passionate speech without carefully crafted appeals will go nowhere; a well-written message delivered blandly will fall on deaf ears. Teach your students how to successfully get what they want by honing their speech writing skills, both with intriguing prompts and examinations of great speeches in history.

A project on writing and presenting persuasive speeches is a great start, coupled with a graphic organizer that helps speakers plan their speech. Use various prompts to get the speech writing started, including sample instructions for a graduation speech , or an assignment on writing speeches based on famous quotations.

A trip through history can provide inspiration as well. A social studies assignment examines the devices in historic speeches, including Queen Elizabeth I’s address at Tilbury. Learners examine the fiery rhetoric in Joseph McCarthy’s “Enemies from Within” speech and analyze the main purpose of Elie Wiesel’s acceptance speech for the Nobel Prize. For a modern approach, check out a resource that compares word choice in the 2004 Democratic and Republican National Conventions.

No matter what your class wants to say, you can help them say it clearly and persuasively—with a little help from your friends at Lesson Planet!

lesson plan booster: what makes a great speech.

Grade level: 6-12

Student learning objective

Preparation

• Teachers should familiarize themselves with at least three famous speeches from a variety of sources. Presidential addresses like the Gettysburg Address are a good start, but don’t limit yourself to politicians. Great orators like Martin Luther King, Jr. can provide a wealth of inspiration. Also look to fiction for examples. Film, television and literature contain a seemingly endless supply of truly great speeches, and AMC  offers a list of the best from film. Be sure to pre-screen any film and television speeches to ensure they don’t contain any inappropriate content.
• Come up with a list of at least five essential elements of great speeches . There is no definitive source for what makes a great speech, but teachers can look to Web sites like Write-Out-Loud  for some guidance. Other sites offer more specific help; LifeHack  offers 10 tips for writing a great speech based on the practices of Abraham Lincoln. EducationWorld provides a list of the top speeches delivered by American Presidents.
• Consider that many, if not all, great speeches are remembered as much for their stirring words as for the context in which they were delivered. FDR’s remarks about "a date that would live in infamy" certainly stir emotions, but they would not have been so heralded were it not for the fact that they were delivered less than 24 hours after the country was attacked.
• Determine whether students will be given a choice about the speech they want to discuss, or whether a particular one will be assigned. You may want to give students the option of breaking into groups based on interest in a particular speech. These small groups can then report back to the large group.

Introducing discussion to students

We should all think about the importance of getting our ideas across in an eloquent and persuasive manner. We’re going to read and discuss some famous speeches and consider what it is that makes them so effective and memorable. Speeches are often delivered to large audiences under grave or dramatic circumstances, but recognizing the elements of good speeches also can help in our everyday communication.

Options for student discussion questions

• [After reading and/or reciting a famous speech] Which of the essential elements of great speeches are present in this speech? [Have students underline passages and explain how they demonstrate the essential elements.]
• [After reading and/or reciting a famous speech] Would you consider this a persuasive speech, an inspirational speech, and/or one that paints a picture of the human condition? Let’s generate a few other categories of speeches, and then we’ll think of examples of famous speeches that fit these categories.
• How many times a day do you make a “speech” or persuasive argument? To a parent? To a teacher? To a peer? What are some ways in which you can apply the essential elements of great speeches to your everyday communication? [Another option: The teacher can present a silly scenario, such as “Convince me why we shouldn’t have tests in this class,” or “Convince your classmates that every Monday should be ‘hat day’ in our school” and have students compose speeches using some of the essential elements .]
• Great speeches are frequently remembered for one great line. The “I Have a Dream” speech is a good example. What are some lines that are often quoted from this speech? Why do you think these lines are so popular? [Students can choose or be assigned other speeches—perhaps some famous and some not as well known. Have them pick out what they think is the “great line,” and explain why.]
• What are some of your favorite speeches? What do you like about them? What about them motivates you, or speaks to you?
• One of the most common speeches in America is the political speech, yet very few of these speeches are remembered beyond the day they were delivered. [Teachers can reference a recent speech such as a State of the Union address.] Why do you think that is? How would you change that if you were a political speechwriter?

When creating a lesson plan to teach persuasive speech, it is important to model what a persuasive speech sounds like by providing students with specific examples. There are countless easily accessible speeches online to help students visualize their task. One example is the TeacherTube video of Angelina Jolie discussing global action for children. Or the audio clip of Martin Luther King, Jr. delivering his historic “I Have a Dream” speech. Once students are allowed to see and hear a persuasive speech in action, they’ll be more prepared for the written portion of the assignment. Topic ownership Everyone wants something and is willing to try and convince someone else to provide it. That is how most environments in the modern adult world work. Students of all ages and abilities need to learn how to craft a persuasive speech to be successful later in life. Students use persuasion in life, often without realizing it. Young children may want their parents to take them out for ice cream. Middle school children may want to have a sleepover with friends. High school students may want to persuade their parents to buy them a car when they get their driver’s license. If students are allowed to choose their own topic, they will feel more ownership in the assignment. Preparing and writing the first draft Students need to create a logical argument giving details about why they should get what they want. Some persuasive strategy definitions include: Claim: The main point of your argument. Big Names: The experts referred to during a speech. Logos: The logic or rationale of your argument. Pathos: The emotional aspect to your argument. Ethos: The trustworthiness of your claims. Kairos: The urgency of your argument. Research: The graphs, tables and illustrations that support your argument. After outlining all areas of the argument, students can begin to write the first rough draft of their speech. To begin, the introduction should include the main topic and the argument. Next, the body of the paper should include correct sequencing of examples as well as a counter argument. It’s very important to include a counter argument in your speech. Finally, the conclusion of your speech should make a strong statement and give a call-to-action to the audience. When writing a persuasive speech, students should make sure their facts are accurate and their voice is expressed. If students are having trouble creating the essay, using a graphic organizer is sometimes helpful. There are many interactive organizers that can assist students, including the  persuasion map. Peer editing Once students have written a rough draft of the persuasive speech, it is important to  peer edit . Teachers should put students in groups of three to four and allow them to read each other’s essays. They can give feedback about whether the speech is convincing and ways it can be improved. Often, when students work together, they more effectively point out mistakes in their peer’s argument while also providing words of encouragement about their strengths. You want to make sure when creating the groups that there are varying ability levels grouped together. Next, students can revise their speech. Classmates may have pointed out areas that needed improvement or clarification. Students often need a different perspective to make sure the argument they are making is clear and reasonable. Speaking and presenting Finally, students should be allowed to present their persuasive speeches. Although getting up in front of the class is the best way to present orally, shy students could also be allowed to create a PowerPoint presentation that integrates the audio feature so they can practice reading their speech for the presentation. Teachers and students can complete grading rubrics for the student presentations. Students need to learn how to evaluate other students and provide appropriate feedback. Using a  grading rubric  is the best way to make sure the assessment if fair and accurate. Creating persuasive speeches is a valuable skill for students to learn at any age. Whether they are trying to relay an idea to their parents, their peers, or their government, it’s important to know how to create logical arguments and provide accurate, reliable support. The more students practice writing and presenting persuasive speeches, the more confident they will be when a real-life situation presents itself.

However, it is still considered best practice to have a plan, plus it will make your life much easier versus feeling like you are always running to the next thing on your to-do list. Treatment Plan Now when it comes to planning out your speech therapy sessions I’m not talking about the hours you spent in grad school making one lesson plan for one client for 50 minutes down to the minute about what you would do with that client.  I mean who has time for that?!  Looking back I feel like it doesn’t set a grad student up for great success to have to perform one way in grad school and then get into the real world school setting and hope you can just get all your IEPs done in time let alone make a plan! In this blog post, I’m going to review the lesson plan template that I use all school year to make a rough outline of my lesson plan versus, such a formal lesson plan like back in those grad school days. Lesson Planning Instead, when it comes to my speech therapy lesson plans I typically focus on a theme, topic, or book for the week and then figure out which therapy goals I want to focus on for that week. The best part about picking a topic and then centering everything around that topic is that it then allows you to reduce the time spent planning and all the different resources needed.  Therapy Planning – Steps Step 1: Pick a theme, topic, book, video, etc. for the week . Sometimes I do have a monthly theme and then simply change out the topic, book, or video on a weekly basis. Step 2: Review your students’ goals and from there pick out the goal area to focus on for your specific students. For example, for my articulation kiddos, I’d pick out a handful of target words with their sounds in them from the activity we are going to do. Or for my language skills students maybe I’d have them use context clues from the story we read to define new vocabulary words. Or maybe I have some younger students working on following directions so I could have them play Simon Says based on the theme or topic we just covered, etc. The ideas are endless but having one overall theme is a great way to help you stay focused and to simplify your lesson plans. Step 3: Write out your overall theme and ideas for each of the communication skills you want to cover that week. This doesn’t need to be big or fancy just a quick overall plan. So for example, if you have 5 students with language delays who are working on their expressive language skills of answering wh-questions you might write down 5 wh-questions to ask your students after watching a video together. Step 4: Gather and prep my resources. For this step, you can use your preferred therapy organization system. Back when I was more paper-based I had a folder for the weekly themed papers, or books, etc. However, now as I’m becoming more digital I have created folders in my google drive. I have monthly folders and then inside of my monthly folders I have 4 weekly folders. I then give each of those 4 weekly folders a theme (see ideas below). Once I have my theme picked and my student’s goals in mind I go and find my speech therapy materials for that week. Editable Template Here is my lesson plan template for speech therapy. I’ve created my speech therapy lesson plans pdf in both print-friendly format or a digitally interactive format allowing you to type directly onto the pdf itself.  1. Free Lesson Plan As speech-language pathologists, we are crazy busy with paperwork, IEP meetings, scheduling, planning, and implementing therapy just to name a few.  The one important skill I’ve learned over the years is to include as many speech therapy activities all into one overall theme to make my therapy planning just a little bit simpler. Here is one of my free lesson plans for speech therapy with one overall theme/topic that covers multiple of my student’s goals. Technology Theme   2. Themed Activities – Ideas Do you need some ideas for themes or topics to get you going? Here is a list of a couple of ideas to get your wheels spinning. – Book Companions Book companions are a great way to get started in creating your theme weekly therapy planning because the possibilities are endless when it comes to what skills you could work on.  You could do everything from articulation words in the story to answering wh-questions, to story retelling, sequencing, comparing and contrasting, or vocabulary words.  Here is one I created all around the book Sneezy the Snowman to help you get started planning your winter theme today! I Wanna Iguana Book Companion | Games, Activities and Lesson Plans by Speech Dreams is a fun compilation of 2 speech games and lesson plans to go along with the book “I Wanna Iguana”.  Where the Wild Things Are Book Companion for Speech Language Therapy by TeleSpeech Cafe is a packet that focuses on early education aged students.  – Holiday Themed Holiday resources are another great option when it comes to creating a themed therapy lesson plan. Here are a few holiday lists that include articulation resources, language resources, and some social language resources. Halloween – Speech Therapy Activities List Thanksgiving Day – Speech Therapy Activities List Valentine’s Day – Speech Therapy Activities List New Year’s – Speech Therapy Activities List St. Patrick’s Day – Speech Therapy Activities List – Seasonal Resources Seasonal resources are a perfect option when it comes to creating a themed therapy lesson plan.  For example, I have a complete theme all around Nature that could be used during the spring season. It covers articulation, language skills, and some social language skills all in one bundle. Back to School – Speech Therapy Activities List Fall – Speech Therapy Activities List Winter – Speech Therapy Activities List Spring – Speech Therapy Activities List End of the Year – Speech Therapy Activities List SEE ALSO: 432+ Free Measurable IEP Goal Bank – animal themed. Let’s be honest kids love animals! What better way to capture their attention in therapy than to use some of their favorite animals? Farm Animals: FREE Farm Preschool Speech Teletherapy Lesson Plan Distance Learning by Communication Window includes a free song choice board and animal action cards! It is great for distance learning.  Zoo Animals: Describing Animals! FREEBIE NO PREP Printables by Spectacular Speech Therapy scaffolds a child’s ability to describe animals clearly by providing visually supportive activities! This is a great no-prep activity!  Wild Animals: “Wild about Reading” Storytime Lesson Plan by Vanessa Grogholski uses rhymes, songs, and poems with a jungle theme to engage early-ed learners!  – Subject Themed Another great idea is to include school subjects in your weekly therapy plans. Science themed: For example, do you have students learning about the ocean this school year? Grab these 51+ Ocean-Themed Activities for your science unit speech therapy lesson planning. 3. Digital Resources Do you work in teletherapy or simply have students that are more engaged with technology and video-based lessons?  I know a lot of slps are using more digital resources now. Some of the engaging activities that are digitally based that I’ve found are listed below. Virtual Field Trip: This could be something like going on a virtual field trip with your students. Virtual Field Trip to the Australia Zoo End of Year Engagement! No prep!! Was created by Teach or Travel and is a great no-prep activity to take a virtual field trip. Engage the students in the slides and travel through Australia. This was designed for ages K through 5th.  Using Wordless Videos: I feel like the possibilities are endless when it comes to using wordless videos in therapy. For example, I have a 31+ Wordless Videos Worksheets that comes with wh-questions, story retell/sequencing, solving a hypothetical problem, and predictions/inferences. 4. Speech Sounds Another idea is to base your theme for the week on an iep goal that many of your students are working on.  For example, I always had multiple students working on articulation therapy so I could base my weekly theme around activities for speech therapy articulation. Are you in need of articulation word lists or interactive articulation flashcards? Be sure to check out my Articulation Words page where new sounds are being added all the time. 5. Barrier Game Barrier games are a super fun way to work on multiple different therapy skills all centered around one theme.  If you don’t already know a barrier game is when you give your students each the same picture along with the same manipulates and have one student instruct the other student what to create with a barrier such as a file folder in between so the student being told what to do can only listen and follow directions but not see the other students board. Your students could work on the skills, such as following multi-step directions “put the pencil on the desk” , vocabulary words “grab the textbook” , spatial concepts “put the shoe on the rug” , adjectives “grab the small clock and put it on the wall” , etc. FREE Cavemen and Dinos Themed Barrier Game Speech Therapy by Allison Fors is engaging and interactive! This game targets expressive and receptive skills for prek – 6th graders!  Freebie! Halloween Barrier Game for speech and language therapy by Katrina Bevan is a fun activity to celebrate Halloween that has a focus on auditory memory and following directions!  6. Game Companions Using game companions is also another fun idea to use as a weekly theme. Pick a game that is easy to adapt and then use that same game all week focusing on different skills. Popping Pirate Game Companion – No Prep Speech Therapy Activity Mixed Groups by Green Tea Speech Therapy is a grab and go game companion that targets articulation, language, and social skills. Play Pop Up Pirate with your students! During the game, have them complete items on their task card based on the color sword they pick. What’s In There??

It’s great for describing and identifying and is a low prep game!  SEE ALSO: 35 Free Speech Therapy Data Sheets Roundup 7. common interests. Do you have multiple students who have similar interests in common? This can be a fun way to use what your students already love and use it as the theme for the week or the month. For example, do you have students who enjoy crafting?  Then you’ll want to check out my following resources that work on requesting supplies, describing their craft to others, articulation words with their sound, following directions as they build their crafts, categorizing, story retelling, comparing and contrasting their craft to others, craft theme vocabulary, and color identification. 43+ Best January Crafts for Kids 53+ Easy Valentine’s Day Card Crafts for Kids 8. Last Minute If you’re therapy planning and don’t have much time I’ve got you covered. If you need something for next week or your next session you’re in the right place. Be sure to check out my seasonal resources if you work in the elementary school setting I have created lists of resources based on your student’s iep goals. These seasonal lists cover a little bit of everything when it comes to your student’s goals, such as articulation worksheets for your articulation students, communication boards for your AAC students, social stories for your social skills students, or minimal pairs for your phonology students, or defining vocabulary words for your common core speech-language goals. 9. Lesson Plan Format – SLP Lesson Plan Examples Let’s take a closer look at a speech therapy lesson plan example and what one might include.  Step 1: Pick a theme, topic, book, video, etc. for the week . Step 2: Review your students’ goals. I typically fill out this form at the beginning and then update it mid-year. Making this step much easier if I only have to do it twice a year and just keep referring back to it each week for my lesson planning. Step 3: Write out your overall theme and ideas. I use my theme planning sheet for this activity. Step 4: Gather and prep my resources. Now I either put the resources that I’m going to use in a digital file folder or an in-person folder. Or do both! 10. Speech Therapy Lesson Plan Template Free Do you want these pages for yourself?  These pages come from my free slp planner that I’ve made for my awesome community of slps.

In Conclusion: Lesson Plans for Speech Therapy Your weekly lesson plans for speech therapy don’t need to be as in-depth and crazy as they once were during those grad school days.  Simply pick a theme, topic, book, or video to center your week around. Keep your student’s iep goals in mind when you pick your weekly therapy activities and then put your resources all in one place so you’re ready to go.  That’s it. You got this!

CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.SL.3.1.A Come to discussions prepared, having read or studied required material; explicitly draw on that preparation and other information known about the topic to explore ideas under discussion. CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.SL.3.1.B Follow agreed-upon rules for discussions (e.g., gaining the floor in respectful ways, listening to others with care, speaking one at a time about the topics and texts under discussion). Copies of Speech Skills: Lessons for Kids and lesson quiz/printable worksheet , one for each student Pre-written teacher speech on a selected topic Have students discuss with a partner what they think of when they hear the word 'speech.' Write student responses on the board. Ask students: Why do you think some people get nervous when they have to give a speech? Give each student a copy of the lesson, Speech Skills: Lessons for Kids . Have students read the section 'Presentations' from the lesson. Ask students: Who will the audience be for the speeches we create? Have students read the section 'Facts & Details' from the lesson. Explain to students that their speech will be about something that they are 'experts' at. Since they have knowledge about their topic, their facts and details should be accurate. It may be necessary to model this process for students. Think aloud and list different topics that you might write about, and then model for students how to determine which topic would be best. (Example: 'I am choosing to speak about riding a bike because I ride every day and have been riding for 20 years, so I know a lot about this topic.') Students will then brainstorm and determine their own speech topic. Skip ahead and read aloud the 'Time to Practice!' section of the lesson. These are the specific directions that students will follow to write their own speeches. Give students time to write their steps for their speech. After students have written their speeches, have them read the 'Speaking Clearly & Accurately' and 'Tips and Tricks' sections of the lesson. After the speech, ask students: Did I make good eye contact? Did I stand tall and confident? Did I give you enough information and speak like we were having a conversation? Students will then share their speeches with a partner first. (This will be a way for students to practice without being nervous.) After several practices, students will share their speeches with the class. After all speeches have been shared, check for student understanding by giving students the printable worksheet as a knowledge check. As a homework assignment, students could share the speeches they've created with a friend or family member after school.
