Today Dara Keenan
took time out of his busy Leaving cert schedule to come into our class in 5th year English and
provide us with his knowledge of the language of persuasion. Dara is a very
successful debater and has lots of experience with using the language of
persuasion when debating on behalf of the school at a very high level.
Dara was able to
give us some useful tips for our leaving cert on how to write a speech. Some
of these tips included the structure of the speech, using anecdotes and how to
make certain things sound better than they are which my whole class found very
helpful! Dara was able to go through every aspect of the speech making sure we
could pick up the most points possible which I was very thankful for. I learned
a lot from what Dara said, the speech and persuasive language questions seem
that much easier to approach now.
Dara grabbed the
classes’ attention right from the start, everyone felt he was a great speaker
and would love to hear more from him. I think the whole class came out of it
having gained new knowledge on the language of persuasion.
I felt it was a
very good experience learning from other students and learning about their view
and opinions on certain subjects.
