Description
Class Experience
Public Speaking is considered by many as the number one fear in society today. In survey after survey Public Speaking has consistently beaten out bugs, and clowns, and even death. With good communication listed as a significant skill needed for class projects, college entrance, and finding a great place in the job market, what's a person to do? Never fear. This stuff is easy. For this first class, we are going to focus on comfortably presenting a short monologue or poem. We're going to...
I had a speech teacher in college who taught me that it was okay to be bad at speaking before I was good at it. She taught me that the floor wouldn't open up and swallow me if I stuttered and that no one would laugh at me if I forgot something I was supposed to say. Her rule was that fear shouldn't stop me.

55 minutes per week in class, and maybe some time outside of class.
Parents, you are always welcome to join your student in the class. For this class, it's probably better to stay off camera while we practice, but if the students agree, we'd love for you to join the last few minutes as we present what we've learned. Online learning has it's drawbacks for live audience, and there is nothing as great as a live audience to help us to overcome the nerves and really get comfortable speaking publicly.
