Original Lesson Plan

Close look at speeches
Year 10 English
Australian curriculum Learning objectives
ACELY17501: Identify and explore the purposes and effects of
different text structures2 and language features3 of spoken
texts4 and use this knowledge to create5 purposeful texts that
inform, persuade and engage.
Resources required
Suitable facilities for showing captioned YouTube clips on
screen to class, including access to the Internet

Student computers

Student worksheets 16 and 27 x class set

Lesson outcome: Students learn about speeches as powerful spoken

texts by considering two speeches from different contexts.
Lesson outline:
Note: this lesson is best conducted over two periods.
1. Remind students of the range of text types they have studied
and indicate that this lesson will be focused on speeches as
powerful examples of spoken texts.

2. Provide students with a short amount of time to research

Martin Luther King Jr. and Richard Gill, ensuring that everyone
in the class has some knowledge of both people. Ask
volunteer students to share their findings so that the whole
class has a similar level of background knowledge.
3. Provide students with the I Have a Dream worksheet to look
over and the opportunity to ask questions before viewing
Martin Luther King Jrs speech8 (8 mins). Note: make sure your
students know that this is only half of the speech.
4. Students then write down their initial thoughts in answer to
the questions regarding Kings speech.
5. Facilitate small group discussions where students can share
their answers.
6. Show students Richard Gills The value of music education9
(13 mins).
7. Once again, students have time to write down their initial
thoughts in answer to the questions regarding Gills speech,
before discussing these answers in small groups.
8. As a class, construct a Venn diagram which identifies the
similarities and differences in the speeches of King and Gill
with a focus on the language features used. As more content
is added to the Venn diagram, continually highlight the vastly
different contexts of the speeches.
9. Facilitate a class discussion where students can contribute
their ideas about what it is they liked about either or both of
the speeches. This is another way of ensuring that students
are considering the effectiveness of the speeches.
10.
Further discussion can briefly explore the concept of
how written language when presented to an audience orally,
can affect the power of the written word.
11.
Students then commence writing their own short speech
using the Plan Your Own Speech worksheet. Emphasise the
importance of students demonstrating that they have a clear
understanding of audience and purpose.
Homework/extension
Students complete speeches. Be sure to indicate a time limit for
students to work toward.
Opportunity for further activity
Students present their speeches in class. An activity could then be
based around looking at what made the speeches different with
regard to language use, purpose and intended audience.

Quality Teaching Elements (lesson focus) Highlight the appropriate areas

Intellectual Quality
This refers to pedagogy focused on producing deep understanding of
important, substantive concepts, skills and ideas. Such pedagogy treats
knowledge as something that requires active construction and requires
students to engage in higher-order thinking and to communicate
substantively about what they are learning.
Quality Learning Environment
This refers to pedagogy that creates classrooms where students and
teachers work productively in an environment clearly focused on
learning. Such pedagogy sets high and explicit expectations and
develops positive relationships between teacher and students and
among students.
Significance
This refers to pedagogy that helps make learning more meaningful and
important to students. Such pedagogy draws clear connections with
students prior knowledge and identities, with contexts outside of the
classroom, and with multiple ways of knowing all cultural perspective.

APST 5.1: Assess, provide feedback and report on student learning.
APST 3.3: Use teaching strategies. I will begin adaptation of the
lesson by incorporating diagnostic assessment (Clark, Pitaway,
2014) to assess students prior knowledge and abilities relating to
lesson outcomes via public Kahoot quiz on Martin Luther Kings
Dream speech. Quiz results are of informal consequence therefore
no records need to be kept. Throughout the lesson I will use
formative assessments (Clark, Pitaway, 2014) observing students
participation and facial registry while encouraging questioning and
discussion of key concepts to evaluate the degree of knowledge and
learning being done. This approach will aid in the application of
Quality Teaching 1.1 Deep Knowledge and 1.2 Deep Understanding.
During the lessons writing task I will apply a new strategy called the
Think aloud Protocol or TAP. The TAP assessment is reported to be
especially efficient to gauge audience awareness, which addresses
APST 5.1 also assess student learning, interpretation of the task,
and self-evaluation which both address 1.6 Strategies to support full
participation of students with disability (Beck, S. W., Llosa, L., Black,

Direct referral to the connections present between the 2007
Northern Territory National Emergency Response (The Intervention)
drawing on Indigenous issues, and the teachings of Martin Luther
King (MLK) will build on prior knowledge of global interconnectivity.
This directly responds to APTS Professional Competence 2.2.5: How
is learning designed to regularly and explicitly (built) from students
background and cultural knowledge, and APST 1.4 Strategies for
teaching Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students.
APST 1.4: Strategies for teaching Aboriginal and Torres Strait
Islander students, I will further modify the original lesson plan
toregularly and explicitly build from students background and
cultural knowledge by imparting knowledge of Martin Luther Kings
historic sociocultural relevance in the continuing global movement
toward equality by unpacking segments of his Dream speech.
Instead of the original facilitation of a class discussion where

students can contribute their ideas about what it is they liked about
either or both of the speeches I employ changes to invite class
discussions directed toward the parallels existing between MLKs
crusade and its reliability to contemporary figures who stand
culturally significant to my classs student diversity. From that
discussion I will set a short creative writing task titled A letter to
MLK about a culture my students choose to identify with where
students apply creative writing skills, and negotiate contextual
differences throughout time in a letter to MLK asking for his help in
an issue the student themselves identify with promoting diversity
and indigenous inclusion.
QualityTeachingModel1.2DeepUnderstanding I will be looking for such
responses from students that illustrate deep understanding of
cultural significance within the lesson. Signs of understanding
complex relationships between concepts may be made visible by a
students inclusion and explanations of concepts. In the lesson plan I
have added the use of prompt questions and reminders to identify
and record students demonstration of how much they are learning
during the lesson. If the learning outcomes are too high, it is
possible the information delivered is too simple and needs to be
more demanding for students before they become restless and
bored. If the majority of the students are only showing signs of
shallow or superficial knowledge then the lesson may need clearer
delivery or clearer explanations
Students achieving deep knowledge and understanding will be given
extension work and encouraged to work in groups with their peers
who may benefit from a different mode of teaching. I will set
autonomous research extension work, on smart devices, offering
students the opportunity to develope Deep Knowledge (1.1) and
Deep Understanding (1.2,). Additional element of the QTM (Quality
Teaching Model) directly relatable to this additional learning is 1.3,
1.5, 2.2, 2.3, 2.4, 2.5, 2.6, 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 3.4 and 3.3
