Description

Class Experience

Starting at a young age, children are expected to start speaking in front of their classes. It may only be something simple, but for a child it can still be a very nerve wracking process! This class will give them tips on how to do that successfully. 

We will discuss good ways to stand up in front of the class and give a small speech. We will discuss things like eye contact, voice speed and volume, and we will mention things like memorization and timing.

I will first ask students questions...

By the end of the class, students will have the knowledge and experience of speaking in front of a group.

I have been actively public speaking since the age of 12. I was in a youth group that required public speaking of some form every time we met. Then in college, public speaking was a heavy part of my degree- Communications.

There is no homework.

  1 file available upon enrollmentStudent will need:

Pencil
Crayons/Colored Pencils if they would like to draw a picture based on their sentences
Journal Paper that has been provided

During the speech given at the end of class, an informal assessment and comments will be given to help the student with their speech giving skills.

40 minutes per week in class, and an estimated 0 - 1 hours per week outside of class.

Topics we may use for public speaking practice are our favorites (animals, colors, hobbies, etc), summer plans, vacations we've taken, or family stories. 

Each student will get a chance to speak in a round robin fashion in order to practice the skills learned in class.
