Power words in Speeches.


Using TVNZ on demand we listened to the opening 30 second speeches from three of the candidates for the mayoralty race for Auckland’s super city. We had an excellent discussion about the styles (avoiding a political debate)

The three speeches were very different. However they were all:

  • Clear
  • Used powerful, positive words
  • Clear messages (debated)
  • Accents on the positive words
  • Short and to the point.

We then created our own 30 second speeches. (Major for Eastbourne) using the above as a criteria.

Everyone gave a 30 second speech to the class.

We then used a voki to record our messages so that we could present them on student blogs.
