Attention! Attention! Calling all students! Are you looking to practice your public speaking skills? Are you looking at feeling more comfortable about speaking in front of others? Do you love speaking in front of others and are looking for a class to allow you to do this? This class is for ALL. Whether you like to present in front of others or would rather not. This class will focus on positive practices to help develop each learner to grow and become more comfortable with presenting/speaking in front of others. Extra bonus: Students will be required to write their speeches at home to bring to class each week for presentation! Schedule: Week 1: Tell about yourself (come to class ready to share who you are and a few things you'd like to share about yourself- do not share anything personal like address or phone number) Week 2: Tell about your favorite vacation (whether it be another state, country, beach or a trip to the zoo- tell us about it!) Week 3: Informational- Tell us about your favorite animal including facts about it. Week 4: Persuasive- use the persuasive ideas given in class to try and persuade. The goal of this class will be to feel more comfortable speaking in front of others as well as to be able to grow in presentation style and length. You are more than welcome to bring your lunch/snack while joining class. In this class we will each take turns presenting our speeches developed at home and look what we did well as well as how we can improve. A few notes: 1. This class is not a writing class. The writing/notes are done on their own at home. Class time is spent sharing our speeches and getting positive feedback. The goal is to build confidence of speaking in front of others. But in order to give a clear, concise speak your thoughts need to be well organized. 2. If class enrollment is below the recommended class size the teacher will reach out to let you know. Class will only be cancelled if only one student is enrolled due to the social aspect of this class and I will let you know to give you time to maybe help find another learner interested. 3. Class time can run a few minutes over at times when this group is full or close to full! We enjoy talking and listening to one another. :) When class has only two or three learners class time can end up to 5 minutes early due to the nature of class size. Usually we have enough fun extending it isn't an issue though!

I bring excitement and adventure to the classroom and I expect my students to as well. Come on an adventure with us- whether it be through a new book, song, craft, or task. I am ready! Are you? :)
