スピーチとディベートのスキルと練習

In this class, each week we will focus on one of the Speech & Debate Events that students are able to compete in for National Speech and Debate Association. These events include  the following: Interp Events, Public Address Events, and Debate Events 

In this class, we will work together as respectful learners looking at the different events, discussing tips and tools to use, share our own speaking progress, and support each other to improve public speaking skills. 

There will be minimal slides and video clips, primarily at the beginning of the class time. This will be a very discussion based experience.  

I want to provide an encouraging and supportive space for learners that would like extra time with Speech and Debate. The lessons will be as follows:

Wednesday, 1/15 - Storytelling
Wednesday, 1/22 - Informative Speaking
Wednesday, 1/29 - Debates available
Wednesday, 2/5 - Humorous Interpretation
Wednesday, 2/12 - Original Spoken Word Poetry

Wednesday, 3/5 - Duo Interpretation
