It’s best to do the talk on something that you are passionate about … • Perhaps you have a particular interest or hobby? Perhaps you are particularly interested in an aspect of current affairs. • If this is the case base your speech on this. • However, if you are struggling to come up with a topic you could base your talk around one of the topics on the slides that follow. • Alternatively you could also choose to base your talk about a key theme or aspect in Macbeth or your 19th Century text: For example, who really is to blame for King Duncan’s death?
Read the information on each slide. Create a persuasive argument for or against the statement. What flaws can you see in the for arguments? What flaws can you see in the counter arguments?
