Prepare a 67 minute PERSUASIVE oral presentation on an issue (political, social, environmental and so on).

Identify an audience. For example, if you were going to speak about a local government issue, your audience could be residents from a particular suburb who may be concerned about the issue. Name the audience and the purpose of your talk before the talk. This is to help the marker determine whether the content and style of delivery is appropriate. The primary purpose will be to persuade the audience to your point of view about the issue. In addition, you may also inform or entertain to make the speech more interesting.


PowerPoint presentation and include text as well as photographs or tables etc., this will be counted as two.

Pay particular attention to the Criteria marking sheet. Note the marks for structure. Many students ignore the structure and lose valuable marks.
