About This Show:
The class oral drafts are due. Jayden has prepared nothing. Maya has prepared too much. The Spanish exchange student is just grasping English. Simon hates public speaking, and Nateʼs Rat's Tail is the only part of his body he washes regularly.
Taking place over one lesson, Mrs H must guide a class of teenagers through the rule of three, repetition and the language modes of ethos, pathos and logos. Using advertising copy and the great speeches of Martin Luther King, Kevin Ruddʼs Sorry speech and of course Taylor Swift this show focuses on the nerve racking experience of having to speak in public.
Interactive, funny and honest, this show confronts the anxiety that all students have around public speaking. Having a specific focus on body language and nerve-coping techniques, students have the opportunity to be involved, reflect and take ownership of their confidence and their own voice.
Persuasive Voices takes the fear out of standing up and speaking aloud.
