Writing the middle part (body) of a speech

Writing the body

Body: arguments and examples to support your statement

• Structure your arguments
• Give examples 
• Rule of 3

Example

You read a story about Jamie Oliver, who promotes healthy schoolmeals. You agree with him and want to give a speech about this subject...

In your introduction statement you say: 

Sweets should be banned from schoolcanteens because they are bad for children

Body: arguments/reasons why sweets are bad for children

Why are sweets bad
for children?

Using your arguments

Apply this to your topic:

• Use 2-5 arguments in your body
• Give examples and evidence to support your arguments
• Structure arguments and examples/evidence
• Make logical transitions from one argument to another

What is your statement?

Before you start writing your body:

• What is your statement and did you put it in your introduction?
• Which arguments support your statement?
• Which examples/evidence support your arguments?

Homework for Monday

• Finish your introduction
