Introduction:
In this activity, students will practice identifying the main points in a speech and expressing agreement or
disagreement with the speaker's ideas. They will also reflect on the importance of active listening in
understanding a speaker's ideas. This activity aims to enhance critical thinking skills, communication
skills, and active listening skills.

Significance:
Understanding the main points in a speech is essential for effective communication and comprehension.

Example Run-through:
Let's say the speech is about the importance of reducing plastic waste. The main points made by the
speaker could be: the negative impact of plastic waste on the environment, the need for individuals to
reduce their plastic consumption, and the benefits of using eco-friendly alternatives.

In their group discussions, students may agree with the speaker's ideas and provide reasons such as the
harm to marine life and ecosystems caused by plastic waste. They may also disagree, suggesting that
recycling is a more effective solution than reducing plastic consumption.
