A clip of each speech being delivered 2. Definitions of unfamiliar references in the speeches themselves Hopefully, it’ll help with your lesson planning and delivery. ![3-2](https://www.douglaswise.co.uk/hs-fs/hubfs/3-2.png?width=700&height=309&name=3-2.png) ![4-1](https://www.douglaswise.co.uk/hs-fs/hubfs/4-1.png?width=700&height=239&name=4-1.png) You can find all my Key Stage 3 English teaching resources [here](https://www.douglaswise.co.uk/ks3-teaching-resources/), including Romeo and Juliet Review Task, Literary Snapshots Booklet, Great Speeches: An Introduction to Rhetoric and more… Hope the stuff’s useful – Doug [![KS3 RESOURCES](https://hubspot-no-cache-eu1-prod.s3.amazonaws.com/cta/default/143698377/interactive-87489670118.png)](https://www.douglaswise.co.uk/hs/cta/wi/redirect?encryptedPayload=AVxigLJ6k1qhTzydhSuoS35%2BuvYCFGlZ6XV5HX2zA1YlMApH21ucjPngyGbqUEPcmWeHQ2mdV6bNeVv2anfjoRytCA71lDcpPSl27AKvH8HD0s1E8ha2TA6JA80dAdC46IQ05jA4XZtyHpLrOujlIMXlXvUdNK0T2Ak7ctIklxo5799Qg2R%2BbpdC%2FcULng0Rm9xdKtAq7NmpUA%3D%3D&webInteractiveContentId=87489670118&portalId=143698377) [![�� NON-FICTION RESOURCES](https://hubspot-no-cache-eu1-prod.s3.amazonaws.com/cta/default/143698377/interactive-87580728011.png)](https://www.douglaswise.co.uk/hs/cta/wi/redirect?encryptedPayload=AVxigLLVkakkbBfw%2BQCksi3wqUVYOnrAW7b9E36LWySPpXftsqA%2BqKgN8FfvfGMnIJfkKMaDwS3Ou5uZJjygU5IkKH6gKf2KKcmbsrQfq8L7CvPpbTYuyyJUm5xfjE%2FepQc4Fmw187Fr2WyuwXd0EVTTmT8SPROOvUAgaWWHMEs3MLkHtNm%2BTdhGiXMPe%2BAR2BGC18ZLLnI%3D&webInteractiveContentId=87580728011&portalId=143698377) [!["These bundles are brilliant and save so much time!
