all journeys provide opportunities (1 Viewer)

[poOcaliciOus]

hey guys,

for one of my assessment tasks we need to do a 6min speech on the topic " all journeys provide opportunities " and relate in to imaginative journeys, the tempest and 2 related texts

any ideas people can help me with on the topic?

if people havent done so already, i would like to extend our welcome to the BOS forums! to poOcaliciOus. Welcome!

well, first of all, u start with a small thesis statement on that exact topic. where you will develop your argument from is this: HOW does the texts show to us that journeys provide opportunity?

perhaps it might be through:

--> the physical and metaphorical representation of 'paths'
--> through reflections from the past
--> through life-changing decisions

then from there, u strengthen ur arguments with ur quotes, ur references to techniques, etc...

i suggest that u might like to use one of the texts from the stimulus booklet, and to preferably choose perhaps a visual text, like a painting or a film, to demonstrate ur extensive knowledge of techniques and applying those techniques to answer the question

hope ur speech goes well!

Firstly, where you have a statement like all journeys provide opportunities you need to be very careful that you stick to it in your speech, but heres the thing. you dont have to aggree with the statment. in fact it will probably come as a welcome break from everyone elses response in your class if you get up there and look, for example at how journeys are limiting? and i envision you could do this by looking at how we try to control the journey and the destination. there is a fabulous extract in the 2004hsc exam from steinbeck that would work brilliantly, perhaps as an opening.

However you decide to tackle it, make sure your super conscious of having ONE VERY CLEAR DIRECTION AND ARGUEMENT. write it on a piece of paper and blue tack it up where your writing. dont lose that focus, or your speech will be ambigious. the secret to giving great speeches is to be super focused and have 3 main points, that you repeat 3 times, ALWAYS linking it back to your line of arguement.

Goodluck

thank you so much :] that really put me in the right direction! =))

with speeches, i suggest that u address the audience somehow (such as could u plz turn 2 page 2 of the handout, even though ur not using a handout )...cause it makes ur speech unique and stand out against the others..

Though one thing for sure is that, if you're planning to stick to a thesis in your speech, be careful to not veer off to other aspects of the Imaginary Journey, always stick to the question.
