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 and Tell Favorite Toys.
Day 3- Keeping papers/books down when reading to the class. Activity: Drawings.
Day 4- Making sure to stay on topic. Activity: Question and Answer game.
Day 5- Keeping Eye Contact with a crowd. Activity: Show and Tell Favorite Books.
Day 6- Review of previous 5 classes,  learning the connection between all the skills, and how each of the skills we learned all work together  to make a good presentation. Activity: Show and Tell the Student's choice.

Each class takes one topic at a time. We will take the first half of class to learn the lesson. The second half of class is the activity for the day. During this portion of each class, appropriate evaluation and critique will be given to students to make sure they are understanding the skill learned that day. In the last class, when all skills are combined, students will have one final activity to showcase what they learned throughout the entire course. Critique will then be given on all 5 skills learned.

At the end of each class, the activity for the next class will be discussed in order to prepare the students for anything that may be needed. For example, at the end of class 1, I will talk about the show and tell we will have in class 2. I will also put messages in the Outschool classroom with reminders of what is needed for the following class. 

This class is not designed to help students learn English, or to learn how to make conversations with their peers. This class helps students stand up in front of a group of people and give presentations, whether in front of their class at school or in formal settings. 

No experience necessary.
