Build a Great Speech

Use the questions and planning space to prepare a short speech for a real audience. Your speech should have a clear purpose and a message your listeners can remember.

Audience and purpose

Your audience is the group listening to you. Your purpose is what you want those listeners to think, feel or do.

1.Talia is giving a speech asking people to sort their rubbish during the school recycling drive. Which audience is the best fit for her speech?
  • Students and staff at her school
  • A group of deep-sea divers
  • Babies who have just started walking
2.Ari says, “Please put clean paper in the paper bin so we can recycle more of it.” What is the main purpose of this sentence?
  • To persuade listeners to take an action
  • To make listeners laugh with a joke
  • To describe what paper looks like
3.Levi is preparing a speech for students at his school. Choose two details that would help him shape his speech for that audience.
  • What students already know about recycling
  • The ages and interests of the listeners
  • The colour of Levi’s socks
4.Choose a topic for a speech about the school recycling drive. Complete both sentence frames to show what you want your audience to do or understand: My speech will be about ______________________________. I want my audience to _________________________________.

Build and deliver your speech

A speech can begin with a hook, introduce its topic and viewpoint, develop key points with reasons or examples, and end with a memorable conclusion.

5.Write an original opening hook for a speech encouraging people to take part in the school recycling drive. It could be a question, a surprising idea, a brief story or a strong statement.
6.Plan an introduction for a speech asking students and staff to join the recycling drive. Include a hook, name the topic and state your viewpoint.
7.Plan three different points for a speech encouraging people to join the school recycling drive. Add a reason or example to support each point.
8.Write a closing for your recycling-drive speech. Restate your viewpoint and leave listeners with a final thought or action to take.
9.Choose two helpful ways to deliver a speech clearly to an audience.
  • Speak at a steady pace
  • Look towards the listeners
  • Rush through every sentence
  • Use a clear voice and suitable expression
