A unit I created on speechwriting and persuasive writing techniques. Focused on MLK and various persuasive devices the outcome is to produce a talk/essay for Standard Grade English. Although it could be used for later levels. There are various speeches with associated videos that pupils can look at for the good use of persuasive techniques.

What an absolutely terrific resource! So much material here for a series of lessons for several age groups. Students will benefit enormously from this. The pictures and photographs are excellent and shocking. Thank you so much for your generosity in sharing this superb resource.
