What makes a powerful speech?

In part 1 of our mini oracy project (How to write a charity speech) we pieced together (literally) the components of a charity speech before comparing different speeches to identify the key features of the most powerful one. As well as identifying persuasive language, it was became clear to us that we needed to avoid including irrelevant information!

Tomorrow we will write our own speeches before moving on to part 2 of the project later in the week (How to deliver a powerful speech).
