Public Speaking Summer Flex Class: Finding Your Voice!
Class experience
In this course, students will get weekly video lectures and tips on how to perfect their voice as a public speaker. They will in turn take the weekly topic, turn it into a speech of their choosing, and submit it to the class for peer critique and feedback. Students will also be exposed to a variety of speeches that demonstrate unique topics covered by other strong speakers to give samples of successful speech-making. Ultimately, this course will not only help students face their fears of...
Students will improve not only in their written speeches, but also by strengthening their confidence, poise, and voice as a public speaker. Exposure to a variety of videos will also allow students to learn from other incredible public speakers while also engaging in critical thinking skills along the way.
I have been an English and writing teacher in the USA, China, Portugal, and Vietnam over the last eight years. In my AP English classes, part of our curriculum is analyzing speeches and creating our own. I have really enjoyed helping my own students master the art of public speaking, both working on their oral performance skills as well as building their confidence when speaking, both mentally and physically. My expertise as a writing instructor allows me to help students get what they want to say on paper before ultimately helping students give the words a powerful voice. The flexible schedule modal for this course is perfect as it allows students the privacy to practice speech writing, make mistakes in the comfort of their own home, and record it as many times as needed to get it perfect. Then, they are still getting collaborative feedback by following the peer-critique structure as a class when we watch and give feedback on each student's speech each week. I look forward to helping your child find their voice!
