One Childhood - One Chance

6P's Superb Speeches

We have been delving into the story of 'Floodland' and unpicking the characters' personalities and motivation. This week we hvae been considering Dooby and how he became the leaders of Eels Island. We have written speeches as Dooby, trying to convince the inhabitants of Eels Island that we should be their leader. Here are some examples:

Confidence, ambition, cleverness that’s what you need as a good leader luckily that’s all the traits I have. I’m also calm and collective as you can I’m the perfect choice as the leader of eel Island. Now I’m not going to waste your time and get straight to the point of why you should pick me as your leader  

Confidence this is a key thing as a possible future leader. I know from experience that if you do not have confidence, you do not have control. If you give the permission to, I will lead you to victory, I can make sure that crops grow, that animals breed. I’m confident that if you make me leader, I can stop all the problems. 

Knowledge is very important if you going to be in control. When I first came to Eel Island it was chaos but thanks to my quick thinking, I stopped the fighting and came up with ways to solve the problems that don’t included fighting. When you’re doing all of this there’s a lot of pressure and not a lot of time You need someone who doesn’t crack under pressure but can still work quickly. Someone like me.  

Ambition. the final main characteristic of being a leader is ambition. There are many slow learners on this island so you need someone who will give you time and help you not make things worse by yelling at you. I can help with that. I can also teach you how to defend yourself.  

Those are the three reasons why you should pick me to be your leader. I promise you that I will sort out all the problems on the island and teach you how to fight I’ll also tell you how to think not what to think. Pick me as your leader

I am writing this speech so you can understand that I could be a good leader for this island. If I'm leader I can help this island drastically by making sure every person has enough food and drink and they are safe. I want people to vote for me because I know I would be the right choice. 

I have a voice that people listen to.  I can direct my followers effectively. I can inspire and convince people to do what is needed. When I talk people listen and agree with what I say. I know what needs to be done and I know how to do it therefore I can direct people what to do be done. I know I can be a strong leader due to these reasons.  

 I am confident. I am passionate. I am reliable. I want our community happy and healthy and committed to insuring this. I will always fulfil the promises I make. This is how I know I will be the best leader for our island. 

If something needs doing, I will not be scared to do it. If somebody is doing something wrong, I will not be afraid to question them about it. If others disagree or upset by them, I will not be scared to voice my opinions and concerns even. I will always do what's best for our community. I am not scared of hard work. I will always stand up for the best interests of the people on our island. 

In conclusion as you see I will make the best choice of leader I will always stand up for this island I will not be scared to say or do anything to help protect the people of the island. I know what needs to be done to keep our island safe, happy and healthy.
