How will Switzerland produce electricity in the future?
====Four months after the March 2011 disaster the Swiss government decided to decommission all nuclear power plants in the country. A binding legal decision is to be made in 2015. As 2015 approaches the debate about Switzerlands energy future will rage on. Can Switzerland live without Nulcear and if so, what will replace it?====

====Using the knowledge you have collected for your summary in task 1, you are to write a speech, outlining what you think Switzerland should do in 2015. I want your opinions and thoughts, backed up by facts and figures to support your argument. This is a piece of discursive writing, think back to what you have learned in English class about the language you must use.====

====Your speech should outline what you think Switzerland should do, why you think that your idea is the best and why you think other options won't work. Remember, you are trying to convince people that you are right.====

Your speech should be structured as follows:

 * ====**Introduction:** An outline of what your speech will say.====
 * ====**The body of your speech,3 or 4 paragraphs**====

The other paragraphs will look at other options, their problems, and why you think your argument is better.

 * ====**A conclusion** that summarizes what you have said and leaves your audience in no doubt as to why they should support your argument.====

You must hand in:

 * Your summary from task 1
 * A plan of your speech
 * A typed copy of your speech. Whilst I will give you feedback on your speech, your grade will be based on the content of the speech.

How will the project be graded? Whilst I will give feedback on the actual presentation of your speech, your grade will be based on the content of the speech. Below is a rubric which outlines how this will be graded.
