Public Speaking

Curriculum

• Public Speaking for grades 7 and 8 will ease students into public speaking with non-threatening, familiar, low-preparation-energy experiences and build up to speech writing. We also throw in practical, use-it-in-life material like interview skills and Bible lesson presentations. This class will be an interactive class experience, with students completing homework assignments and then practicing new skills in class with coaching from the instructor. Students will work alone and in groups, increasing their speaking and critiquing skills.

Home Studies

• The average student should plan to devote approximately one hour per week to Public Speaking assignments.
• Regular progress reports will be sent to parents.
