詳細: On Day 1, students will prepare a short "All About Me" speech to introduce themselves to other members of the group.  They will use an outline to organize their information to create a 7+ sentence speech.

On Day 2, students will learn how to create a motivational speech.  They will identify a story from their own lives to create an "I Have a Voice" motivational speech to (1) explain how they faced personal challenges and (2) inspire others with a call to action.  

On Day 3, students will share their speeches with one another on Day 3 and receive positive feedback.

Topics for the speeches are selected by students, but they must be approved by the teacher and adhere to Outschool class guidelines. Topics must be objective, secular, inclusive, as well as age-appropriate.  Students will explain how they can inspire positive change in the world. In accordance with Outschool guidelines, topics "may not promote discrimination, hate speech, or violence."
