Speech Help

We are writing speeches this week around what we can do to better our planet. Topic Examples: - Do not harm our animals - choose an endangered species - recycle - say no to plastic bags - Do not litter - Walk or ride to school CLICK HERE for an example of a good speech - Write about something you find interesting or you are passionate about -Your aim is to persuade and inform, not just one or the other.  - Make sure you hook in the reader at the beginning. Do not start with "hi my name is...". You could start with: A fact, describe the thing - e.g. a plastic bag - and have the audience guessing what it might be (example in link), a rhetorical question, onomatopoeia/sound effect, or an exclamation - e.g. Stop! Think before you drop that rubbish! - You could speak from the perspective of a kiwi (or animal) that is having it's habitat destroyed.  - Aim for 2 minutes
