Learning Area: English Topic: Persuasive speech writing
Curriculum content description: Listen to spoken texts constructed for different purposes, for example to
entertain and to persuade, and analyse how language features of these texts position listeners to respond in
particular ways (ACELY1740).
Understand that authors innovate with text structures and language for specific purposes and
effects (ACELA1553).
Use interaction skills to present and discuss an idea and to influence and engage an audience by selecting
persuasive language, varying voice tone, pitch, and pace, and using elements such as music and sound
effects (ACELY1811).

Lesson Evaluation:
The social issues went over time. It took the entire lesson for us to get through social issues, but most students
have selected their social issue and can begin working on their presentations. Those who had finished early were
encouraged to begin researching their chosen topic.

All issues had to be approved before students could begin working on them. It was difficult to keep them on task
during this time. There was a lot of off topic talking.
