Select, research and plan an oral presentation on a current media issue
Step 1- Select an issue by visiting one or more of the following websites which list possible issues to
choose from:
https://www.echoeducation.com.au or https://www.procon.org/ or https://australia.isidewith.com/
The issue I have chosen is: (briefly explain why it is an issue and what is being debated?)
The issue I have chosen is how youth crime needs to be more punished for the crimes they commit in order
to curb the vastly growing youth crime spree
Step 2- Establish what the two main sides of the issue are:
Side 1: Side 2:
Youth crime is rising faster than ever before, and it Many committing the crimes have troubled
needs to be stopped backgrounds and other circumstances
Step 3: Read through as much information as you can about the issue using the websites above or by
conducting your own research. So that you can complete the below steps.
Step 4. Contention-decide on where you stand on the issue (your main opinion):
the laws behind youth crime need to be changed such as
Step 4. Identify the main groups in the community affected by the issue and those who have expressed an
opinion on the issue or will make decision on the issue:
 Those who have found themselves victim to youth crime

 Parents of the perpetrators
 Other youth
Step 5: Decide on a target audience. From the above list you have brainstormed consider who you will be
writing your speech for and where you would pretend to present it.
Parents with teenage children
Step 6: Brainstorm a list of reasons/arguments that will support your contention and that will appeal to
your target audience
 The injustice that people are facing as they are being assaulted and stolen from
 A danger for not just the victims but also the perpetrators
 To make children think about the consequences of the crimes that they are committing and that the
benefits do not out way those consequences
 The factor that social media plays in the growth
Step 7: Brainstorm a list of reasons against your contention that your target audience may have and that
you may choose to rebut in your speech (one of these will be used in your rebuttal)
 There might be reasons to why they are committing crimes such as a troubled home life that leads
them to commit crime
 the youth committing the crimes they’re not understanding the severity of the crimes
Step 8: use the attached planner to draft your speech

What is it about youth crime that needs to be changed

Repeat offenders
- nearly everyone will have a run in with the law but depending on how often these
youth are committing crimes the punishment needs to be raised accordingly
Tougher laws for weapons
- if a youth shoplifts that’s simply theft but if they are confronting the store owner with
a weapon that’s robbery
The difference between a 12-year-old and a 16-year-old committing crimes (intent)
- If a 12-year-old or a 16-year-old have a weapon the intent is no different
Just a short time in a jail isn’t going to make the impact that’s needed
- There not only needs to be punishment for the youth committing crime but there
needs to be a system to teach them the consequences of the crimes and educate
them to have them realise what they are doing when they commit crime
