In this class, students will learn aspects of public speaking through common ways we speak in public, such as show and tell, answering questions, and telling stories.

Class Experience

In this ongoing public speaking class, students will learn different ways we engage in public speaking, and how we speak in public. We will take 5 main skills, then use an activity to reinforce what we have learned. In the 6th class of the session, we will combine all of these points and practice them all together. 

The points of public speaking that will be discussed are:
Day 1- Facial Expressions (Smiling). Activity: Getting to Know You Questions.
Day 2- All About Voices. Activity: Show...

Students will learn about public speaking. By the end of class, they will master the main public speaking aspect of the day. By the end of the session, they will fully understand all aspects related to public speaking.

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.

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.
