Speech

The five units

Each unit builds on the one before. Download the outline for every lesson title.

1. 1

   Unit 1 · Foundations of Rhetoric

   The building blocks every unit uses: message, structure, reasons and appeals.

2. 2

   Unit 2 · Speeches

   Message, structure and reasons combine into one full persuasive speech.

3. 3

   Unit 3 · Presentations

   The same structure and confidence now teach rather than persuade, using visual aids.

4. 4

   Unit 4 · Discussions

   Solo delivery shifts to real-time listening, responding and group thinking.

5. 5

   Unit 5 · Debates

   Argument-building, audience interaction and teamwork converge in the course finale.

How the course runs

• Everyone starts at Unit 1

  So every child builds the same foundations first.

• 8 lessons per unit

  Each unit ends with a capstone lesson, and a capstone video is made at the end of each unit.

• Assessment first

  Speech needs an assessment before sign-up. WhatsApp us to book.
