Have your students create their own speech !

- Lexis and 'historical' brainstorming around the word "speech" >> create a mind map

- Article analysis : pictures (description / commenting / interpreting - justifying choices) and texts (comprehension - grammar / vocabulary / civilisation...)

- Creating a 3' speech (&  its supporting material : notes - a mind map, a list, ...) and a sign that sums up the conveyed message.
