The Story of Aland
Aland was a curious, quiet, shy robot. It didn’t always say exactly what it felt, and it often felt uncomfortable speaking in front of people. Sometimes, it found it hard to find the words; sometimes, it found it difficult to make certain sounds; sometimes, it stammered. One day, Aland was watching Robot TV and saw a robot just like it, so similar in many ways, standing up proudly at a podium and speaking out. The words and story were simple and clear and people were really listening. The TV robot spoke using words, facial expressions and hand gestures. People cared; the audience was clapping. Aland could imagine how wonderful that robot must feel, to be able to say what you want, when you want and how you want, in a way that makes people really hear you. Aland had a story to share, and feelings, thoughts and amazing ideas to share too. Aland wondered, “What can I do about this?” And so, a decision was made that day, a small decision that would make an enormous difference in Aland’s life.

M A S
The answer became clear ...
When we want to become a better musician, we learn the skills and practise. When we want to become a better dancer, we learn the skills and practise. Aland wanted to become a better speaker, so, BINGO! Aland decided to learn the skills and practise. Aland would go on a magical speaking journey and gather all the tools and techniques it could, put them in its tool box and take them out to use whenever it needed them. This would help Aland prepare for any and every speaking opportunity that would come its way. Aland has become better and better at speaking up and speaking out. Now it’s time for Aland to play around with all the skills it has already gained and add more to its skill set. Aland knew deep inside that it was Confident. “LET’S GO, ALAND! LET’s Stand!”

SPEAKER’S STORY Start your journey by getting inspired by three amazing speakers and their life stories. Read each story, and at the end complete the activity. You can also share the stories with your friends and family to help get you into that public speaking mindset!
Joanne O’ Riordan
E L P
No limbs, No limits!
M A S
Joanne O’ Riordan was born in Cork in 1996 with a very rare condition known as Tetra-Amelia Syndrome, meaning that she was born without all four of her limbs. She is one of only six people in the world with this condition. Famous for being really positive and motivated, Joanne is an activist* for people with disabilities, a sports writer and an inspirational speaker.
“I was born without my limbs, but my motto is life is ‘No limbs, No limits’.” Joanne O’Riordan
She first gained attention when at the age of 15 she skipped school (we don’t recommend this!) to confront Enda Kenny, who was Taoiseach at the time, about the Government’s plans to cut funding for people with disabilities. Joanne’s voice was listened to, the Government reversed their decision, and Joanne discovered her passion for speaking up and speaking out. Joanne has given speeches in countries across the world with the aim of changing the way people with a disability are seen by others. Here in Ireland, she has appeared on the Late Late Show twice, and after her first appearance she was described by the Irish Times newspaper as “One of the guests on the show in recent years who has made the most impact on viewers.”
8
‘LET’s stand | Groundwork
Joanne was Grand Marshal at Dublin’s St Patrick’s Festival parade in 2016, the youngest ever person to take on this role!
E L P
Joanne’s brother Steven made a film about her life, called ‘No Limbs No Limits’, which you can find on YouTube - 15 million people from all over the world have already watched it!
M A S
* Activist: a person who uses or supports strong actions (like public protests) to help make changes in politics or society.
Joanne has often spoken about the importance of technology in her life, and at the United Nations in New York, when she was giving a speech to some of the world’s most influential leaders in technology, she gave them a challenge: to build her a robot that will become her hands and legs!
ACTIVITY If you could ask our Taoiseach a question, what would it be and why?

SPEAKER’S STORY
Marcus Rashford Footballer and activist
E L P
Marcus Rashford began playing for Manchester United at the age of just seven years old. He is a campaigner* against homelessness and child hunger. Marcus has two brothers and two sisters, and growing up his mother Melanie often had to work lots of different jobs so that Marcus and his family could eat; sometimes she had to skip meals herself to make sure that her children ate. Often when people grow up in tough conditions it makes them want to use their voice to change things so that others don’t have to experience the same problems. This is exactly what Marcus did, he used his fame for good and spoke out for those who needed help.
M A S
During the coronavirus lockdown, the Government in the United Kingdom, where Marcus lives, made the decision to stop giving out free school meals, as the children couldn’t go to the school itself. They had also decided that these children would not receive free meals during the school holidays. Marcus knew from his childhood how important it is to get a good meal every day of the year and how hard it is for people who can’t find the money to pay for food. He started a petition* online, which ended up getting over one million signatures! He challenged the Government and as a result of his challenge, they changed their minds, and thousands of children who would have gone hungry continued to get daily meals.
12
‘LET’s stand | Groundwork
“Just look at what we can do when we work together!”
E L P
Marcus is also very passionate about child literacy (being able to read and write). Marcus himself said that he could not read and write properly until he was 17, but once he started, he couldn’t stop!
M A S
“These children matter, and as long as they don’t have a voice, they have mine.”
* Campaigner: a person who takes part in activities that help to change something in society, for example an animal rights campaigner. * A petition is a request to change something, it is usually written down.
ACTIVITY If you had to set up a petition to change something, what would it be for and who would you ask to sign it?
13
PUBLIC SPEAKING is NOT new to me. I already speak in public when:
I speak to my family and friends
I speak to people in the community
E L P
I speak during meals
I tell my classmates about things I love, what makes me special
I use technology to make video or phone calls
I share my ideas and learning in class
M A S
I can learn skills that will help me do this really well. I can become a really cool, clear and confident communicator! This is EXCITING! 14

What a pity if I never shared

Tips for making a powerful PowerPoint presentation
Scan Me Scan the QR Code above to access the PowerPoint plan.
Research your topic. PowerPoint Plan What is my message / main point?
Prepare a script Plan: What is my message / main point? As the point of your slides is to illustrate what you are going to say, you should first write out what you want to say and then design the slides. Prepare: Consider the structure, i.e. beginning, middle and ending. Plan the order of the slides so that the audience can sometimes know and sometimes be surprised by what comes next.
What do I want to say for the Beginning
Middle 1.

Ending 3.
Beginning:
Middle:
E L P
1.
Design your PowerPoint How many slides do you need? (Don’t have too many slides) Bullet points, images or graphs, or a combination? Don’t use too many images. Use a font like Arial, Helvetica, or Calibri for the main text as they are the easiest to read. Put dark text on a light background. Align text left or right and avoid clutter.
One point at a time
2.
M A S
Plan your presentation so just one new point is displayed at a time. Bullet points can be shown one at a time as you speak about them.
3.
Ending:
When you get comfortable with PowerPoint, break the rules and bring your own personality and individuality to your presentations.
Avoid large chunks of information. Remember, your slides are the illustrations for your presentation, they are not the presentation itself. They should highlight what you’re saying as you give your presentation.
YOU are the presenter. Remember YOU are in charge of the presentation. You are using PowerPoint to make your presentation more interesting.
62
‘LET’s stand | Resources
Quick tips for PowerPoint When you have researched your topic, ask yourself the following questions: What do I want to say? / What’s my message / main point? How will I divide it up into a beginning, middle and ending? How many slides will I need? How will I design the slides? How do I plan to capture and hold the audience’s attention?
