Various speech types will be taught and practiced. We will do mouth, tongue and face speaking exercises as well as tongue twisters and script-reading, for improved diction. Storytelling will be demonstrated through viewing and discussing fictional video clips. Students interact with each other and teacher through partner speeches and class discussions. Speech structure will be taught and practiced. Students will choose topics that are of interest to them to speak about. No experience is required. Students who are shy or struggle with aspects of speaking or self-expression are encouraged to try Speak EZ!
Learning Goals
Students will learn the different types of speeches (ie, debate, Informative, How-To, etc) and will participate in several types of speeches. They will learn about the various means of storytelling, including pictures, video clips, dance, and of course, speaking.

I focus on social emotional learning for elementary aged students in Speech, Dance, and Life Skills classes.
I hold a BA in Speech and am a certified social emotional and character development educator. I am a recipient of the Forensic Academic Achievement Award and Scholarship for achievements in both academics and debate and dramatic Interpretation.
I believe understanding and managing emotions, finding healthy outlets and honoring one's uniqueness are the keys to healthy living. To me, emotional health outweighs anything we can learn in school, but with it, we can achieve greater success in academics, the workplace and in life!
I love to travel the world, dance, and take road trips with my dog, Oscar.Reviews
