Lesson 2
What did we cover?
Ice Breaker and review of last week
A discussion on why style is important when convincing someone
Churchill Game – Students took a famous Churchill speech and experimented by delivering it in different styles. We learnt that different speeches require different styles to be convincing.
A discussion on what makes up elements of a stylish speech including body language, volume, tone, speed, eye contact etc
Selling Game – Students had to pretend to sell an everyday object. Their pitch was judged on the basis of style and they were given feedback on this.
Topics Discussed
As this week focussed on style more than content, we didn’t discuss any particular motions. The Churchill game led to a brief discussion about World War II
Individual Feedback
Homework
By next week, please listen to the “I have a dream speech” by Martin Luther King Jr and post in the forum as to why you think it is so convincing.
