Its so stupid how GCSE students have to perform a speech but it has no effect on our grade!!
I could get all 9's on my lit and lang papers but if i read off of a piece of paper and hesitate when i speak in a two minute speech, I wont get a shiny distinction for oracy.
Damn you, Michael Gove.
Plus my school is weird. Theyre trying to make everyone use phone pouches to lock up devices during the school day, as if that will do anything. All i've heard is that one of the head students forgot to unlock his overnight and his alarm went on for twenty minutes the next morning without stopping. Definitely worth the twenty quid, right?
But my lovely english teacher's preferred method for collecting these speeches is airdropping videos onto his phone, which in theory is running out of storage from a couple 100 fifteen year olds' half-assed speeches on why cannabis should be legal, but if we hand it in in the next school year we will have to do some matrix-y type shit with USB's.
I could not be arsed in a million years.
Ergo, I have about three weeks to write this fucking thing. Great.
I cant complain too much, though. My plan is to do it on why Dr Strangelove still holds up as the most relavant and ubiquitous political satire to date (basically i can rewatch one of my favourite films under the guise of school work).
Wish me luck?
