This class focuses on introducing and honing students' abilities in the important leadership skill of public speaking, as well as improving their writing skills. In the class the students will enjoy putting down on paper their issues and positions appropriate to their age, and then use the various tools of public speaking to make an effective presentation of their speeches, such as:
•voice quality • pronunciation
• tone • eye contact
• volume • body gestures
As our students practice these skills in their speeches, they will overcome nervousness when they speak, demonstrate confidence and feel more, or completely comfortable talking in front of audience of any size.
