Lesson video

Hello and welcome.

My name is Mr. Santhanam, and welcome to lesson 2 of 10.

Today's learning objective, is about learning, a persuasive speech from memory.

So we are going to be storymapping, and stepping, and speaking, our persuasive speech today.

Before we begin, I've got a riddle for you.

What gets bigger, if you give it food, but dies, if you give it water? What do you think? The answer is a fire.

If you give it more food, it will get bigger.

And if you give it water, it will go out.

Let's get started on today's lesson.

Okay, in today's lesson, you are going to need some paper, a pencil, and your brilliant brain? Pause the video now, while you going to get those things? Oh, you're so speedy, well done! So, in today's lesson, this is our agenda.

First we're going to recap some information, about our speech that we heard.

We're then going to storymap the speech.

And finally, we're going to step and speak the speech.

And in that way, we're going to commit, the persuasive speech to memory.

And therefore we can just focus on the language that we use, and we don't have to worry about what happens in the speech.

First of all, let's recap the speech.

I'm going to give you some questions, and I want you to answer them, to see if you remember them.

It's time now to answer some questions about the speech that we just heard.

Who was performing the speech about fire safety? Pause your video now while you answer question.

That's right, it was the fire chief.

And it's his job, to put out the fires.

So he knows all about fire safety.

The next question says, who could be in danger, from the fire? Who did he say could be in danger? Pause your video now, while you answer the question.

That's right, he said that plants and trees could be in danger, animals could be in danger, and even humans could be in danger as well.

What do trees do to help us? Pause your video now, while you answer the question.

The fire chief, said that the trees, give us oxygen.

And without them, the world would have too much carbon dioxide gas.

And that would mean the world would really heat up, and that's very dangerous for our planet.

Even if you're being careful what else could go wrong, with a fire? Pause your video now, while you discuss your answer.

That's right, he said that even little sparks could fly off the fire and cause a bigger fire in the forest.

And finally, what are the three main points we must remember about fires in forests? Pause your video now, when you try to remember.

I'll be really impressed if you remember these things.

That's right, he said don't light fires, protect the forest, and save lives.

If you remembered all three of those things, I am super impressed, so massive shine to you.

Great job! Now that we've recapped our memory, about the speech, it's time for us to storymap the speech, that we can really remember it using visuals.

This part is so helpful to help you to commit, the speech to memory.

Make sure you've got your piece of paper, and your pencil with you.

Okay, I'm going to begin my storymap with the title.

Why you should never light fires in a dry forest.

Okay, so I'm going to begin, first of all, Hello.

In the beginning, the fire chief introduced himself and he says, "Hello, I am the fire chief." So I'm going to do a little picture of a man, with a hand.

And he's saying, "Hello.

I am the fire chief.

"I am here today to tell you about fire safety, "so that you will know what to do if you ever find yourself, "in a hot, dry, forest in summer." So I'm going to do some trees, a person.

And it's a hot, dry, day in summer.

Hello, I'm the fire chief, and I'm here today to tell you about fire safety, so that you will know what to do if you ever find yourself in a hot, dry, forest in summer.

Next picture, our message is simple.

Draw a picture of a envelope.

Our message is simple, don't light fires.

Protect the forest, I'm going to draw a picture of some arms and the forest inside the arms, because we're protecting the forest.

Protect the forest, save lives.

Going to see a picture of a man and a woman, protecting lives.

Repeat after me, and then I'm going to an arrow to say that is going to represent repeat.

So back to the beginning, repeat.

And then, repeat after me.

Now let me explain why, I'm going to do, a picture of, a person saying why.

There are three important reason, why you should never light a fire in a dry forest.

So the number three, never light a fire, in a dry forest.

Here's the forest, there's the fire.

The next box, first, so number one.

The forest is home to millions of plants and animals.

Forest is home to millions of plants, and animals.

let's do, an animal, which will all die if there is a forest fire, another fire.

Not only that, but humans can get killed too.

I'm going to exclamation mark saying, they can die as well.

So don't light fires, and you will save many lives.

I'm going to write the word save here to help me.

Next one, second.

Living forests help to make the oxygen in the air, from carbon dioxide gas.

Living forests, I'm going to write word word living.

Living forest helps make oxygen in the air, from carbon dioxide gas.

Now, oxygen we can write like this.

That's the symbol for oxygen.

So we can say that, trees give us oxygen, but they take in carbon dioxide and that's the symbol for carbon dioxide, O2 and CO2.

Without the forest there is more carbon dioxide, which makes the world warm up.

So we'll draw a picture of the world, and we'll get it, getting very hot.

This is dangerous for our planet.

That is dangerous and we'll even put a skull there to show how dangerous this is.

Next point, third.

Even if you're very careful, you never know when a single spark is going to fly out of the fire and start a fire somewhere else.

So fire, single spark, might start another little fire here.

Next bit, so remember, do as I say.

Remember, we'll do a person.

pointing to that brain, remember, and we might even say remember, don't light fires, protect the forest, and save lives.

And there we have it, that's our storymap.

And put, a line under here to show that's the title, amazing! Pause your video here while, you do your own storymap, for the persuasive speech.

Okay, now that I've got my trusty storymap here, with all the information that I need, I'm going to step and speak the story.

First I'm going to step the story going across, and then I'll speak it on my own, without stepping.

Are you ready? Hello, I am the fire chief.

And today I'm here to talk to you about fire safety.

That way you will know what to do if you are ever in a hot, dry, forest in the summertime.

Step forward.

My message is simple.

Do not light fires in the forest, protect the forest and save lives.

Repeat after me, do not light fires, protect the forest, and save lives.

Now, let me tell you why.

There are three reasons, why we should never light fires in a forest.

Firstly, the forest is home, to many plants and animals, and they will die if there is a forest fire.

It can also kill humans too.

Okay, now that you've seen me step the story.

Now that you've seen me, step the speech, it's time for you to do the whole thing by yourself.

Don't forget to use your storymap to help you.

Look at these visuals and try and remember, what the speech says by using action too.

Good luck! Okay, now that I've stepped my speech, I'm going to try my storymap away, or at least have it away from me, so that I can use my hands.

And that way I can say the speech all on my own.

I'm really going to lock it in my brain and learn it from memory.

Watch how I do it and then you can have a go.

You can still use the actions to help you remember, cause that's a really important part, of learning from memory.

Why you should never light fires in a forest.

Hello, I am the fire chief and I am here today, to tell you about why you should never light fires in a dry forest.

That way you will know what to do, if you are ever in a forest in the summertime.

My message to you, is simple.

Do not light fires, protect the forest, and save lives.

Repeat after me, do not light fires, protect the forest, and save lives.

Let me tell you why.

Let me explain.

There are three things you need to know.

Number one, forests are home to many plants and animals, and they will die if there is a forest fire.

There are also humans that are in the forest, and they will die too.

So, you can save lives, by not lighting fires.

Pause the video here, while you try and speak the story.

It's okay, to just use the storymap to help you.

It's okay, to use actions to help you work, through the speech as well.

But this time, try and do it standing still.

I wonder if you can do the whole thing, independently.

Good luck! I saw some great here map step and speaking today, great job! I know now that you're going to really be able, to commit that speech to memory, and then we're going to be able to explore it more, with our storytelling.
