Part One: Warm Up
Discuss the following questions with your partner(s).
- Have you ever attended or seen a protest? What was it about?
- Is protest the only way to change society? What other options are there?
- What social movements are currently being discussed in your country or in others?
- Who is famous in your country for being part of a social movement?
Part Two: Getting Ready to Speak

- structure and organization
- content to include
- voice and pronunciation
- body language
- communicating with the audience
Now, open exercise #1 and follow the instructions.
