Eisteddfod Speech Assessment

Name: _______________  Topic: ________________________   Sept 2017

Writing:

• Write a speech sequencing ideas logically.

Do this using the Hamburger format by:

• Having an appetising introduction/hook – an exciting question or ‘did you know’, and tell briefly about the other things that will be in the speech.
• Layers: each layer will be about a different part of the speech topic, each layer will flow to the next layer, because it makes sense to speak about it next.
• Conclusion: will remind the audience about what the speech has been about, or leave the audience with a thought provoking question.

Presenting/Speaking:

• Speak clearly and with appropriate volume, so the audience can understand and hear all that is said.
• Maintain the interest of the audience by speaking slowly and carefully, trying to change the tone of voice, and by using pictures, other props, other visual aids, as well as movement.
• Become so familiar with the material that there is confident eye contact with the audience.
