Famous speeches

We were exposed to speeches by many famous politicians all over the world such as J.F Kennedy, Tun Dr Mahathir, Martin Luther King Jr, Nelson Mandela, and many more. Miss explained that these can be used as teaching aids by asking students to find key messages, speaker’s point of view, listen to the original speech if available and compare it with the text. These are some activities that can be generated from the speeches. Then, we were asked to do and focus on one speech per group and my group will focus on Franklin Delano Roosevelt speech in Pearl Harbor Address to the Nation. From the speech we have to find the purpose, key message, POV, the tone of speech, and then present them in class. After that, we also have to generate 2 activities based on the speech. We have to present both in the tutorial class.
