Argument Writing - Election Speeches

We have watched election speeches from Barak Obama, Jeanette Fitzimmons and Adolf Hitler. Here are some ideas we came up with for an opening sentence:

Lauren / Ash: We are standing here today because we want to make a difference

Kenya / Konrad: Vote for Us

Charlotte / Josh: What will make you happy?

Brianna / Kara: We are standing up here today for something we believe in.

Tori / Ollie: How many Germans are there here? Well it doesn't matter because this is Q Zealand's election.

Blake / Matt: There is only one way. It's the right way. It's the Future Green way.

Lizzie / Logan: I'm standing here today because I want to be Prime Minister of Q Zealand.

We think the Blake / Matt comment is good because it is strong and threes are good.

We think the Brianna / Kara opening is good because it's easy to add on to and they could get straight to the point (Tori)

Here are our Success Criteria for our election speech:
  • Ask questions
  • Something bold and attention grabbing
  • Keep to one subject at a time
  • Keep it interesting by making it short, sharp and to the point
  • Message should be really clear
  • Show some detail of the policies
  • Have a decent amount of info
  • Include some sets of three
  • Have a bold ending
