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

I knew that I had to summon my mighty dragons. - Tane I came to a door that was never there before. I opened the crusty old door and it made a creaking noise. - Isaac One morning I crept up an alley way to a door. I opened it and it made a scraping noise. "crrrr!." It was so dark and I didn't know where to go. - Ruby One misty morning I was walking to my school until I saw a house. It was a dark, black, spooky house. The paint was peeling off like a snake peeling its old skin. - Asher "I'm not lying, there was even steam coming out of it's horns." Then it came stomping up to me, I quickly yelled, "Mum! Mum! Mum! A monster!" - Karin...
