Students compare speeches given by James Corden (in character as Smithy from 'Gavin and Stacey') and President Obama, analysing the techniques and then replicating these in their own writing.

Tasks include:

  • listing persuasive techniques used in speeches
  • watching YouTube clips of Smithy and Barack Obama
  • annotating scripts
  • imitating the style of Smithy's speech
  • completing a comparison grid for the two speeches.

Great resource. Would be better if there was an answer's page to save time.
