Description
Class Experience
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.
Homework will be given at the end of the first class. The homework will be to write a short speech on a simple topic such as a favorite vacation, a funny family story, or their favorite gift they have received. The speech should only be a paragraph or two.
Student will need: Paper Pencil
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
During the speech given in the second class, an informal assessment and comments will be given to help the student with their speech giving skills.
1 hour 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.
