This public speaking class uses the popular video game "Among Us" as a tool to help students improve their public speaking skills. The class is designed to be interactive and fun, while still providing a structured learning environment. 

The core objectives of the class are:

- To teach students how to structure and deliver a speech effectively by participating in "emergency meetings" in the game.
- To provide students with opportunities to practice impromptu speaking, debate, and persuasion techniques.
- To help students develop their ability to think on their feet and react quickly to unexpected situations.
- To increase students' confidence in their ability to speak in front of others.

Throughout the class, students will participate in various activities and exercises that simulate persuasive speaking scenarios. They will also receive feedback and coaching from the instructor to help them improve their skills. By the end of the class, students will have a better understanding of how to structure and deliver an impromptu persuasive speech (almost like an elevator pitch), and will be more comfortable and confident when speaking in public.

Public speaking is a valuable skill that can benefit students in many areas of their lives, including school, work, and personal relationships. It can also help them to develop critical thinking, problem-solving, and leadership skills. By enrolling their students in this class, parents can give them the opportunity to gain these valuable skills in a fun and interactive way. 

The use of the popular video game "Among Us" will make the class more engaging and appealing to students, encouraging them to participate and take an active role in their learning. Additionally, the class will provide a safe and supportive environment for students to practice their skills and receive feedback, helping them to build confidence and overcome their fears of speaking in public.

Hello! I'm Elizabeth Green, founder of Green Communications and My Speech and Debate Coach.

I'm honored to lead a small group of teachers with a passion for helping kids learn how to communicate confidently and effectively in public speaking situations.  We are proud to be named Outschool's Best In Class in 2023 and 2024!

We all have a minimum of a Bachelor's degree with a focus on communications (Broadcast Journalism, Theater, Public Relations, etc).  We have won numerous awards, competitions and national titles in public speaking and debate. 

But most importantly, we know how it feels to be uncomfortable in a public speaking situation, and the importance of overcoming that.  We all went through shy stages as children until we had that ONE teacher who impacted us in a way that propelled us to self-confidence, public speaking competitions, and even careers in communications!  

Whether it's having the courage to stand up and spell an unknown word in a spelling bee, write and/or deliver compelling lines from a play, craft an effective impromptu speech, or seal the deal in a debate tournament with a persuasive closing round, our goal is to BE that teacher for your child. 

And, have a lot of fun in the process. :)
