Getting Political by Michael DE MARANVILLE | Mar 2, 2022 | Grade 11 & 12 (DP), Grade 12 | 0 comments We have been getting political in grade 12. We have been examining political speeches and exploring how the choice of language and technique can help a speaker connect to their audience, achieve multiple purposes, and downplay stereotypes or labels without ever being direct. The students have taken the reins and are actively exploring the speeches, providing interpretations and directing the discourse.
