Thursdays 12:15-1:30
Ages 12 and up (by Jan 1, 2024)
The Ms Frizzle of Public Speaking, Heather Neumann, will lead students through a fun-filled journey on the basics of Public Speaking through Speech (aka Forensics). Students will learn about the different kinds of speaking events and how we use them in everyday life. They will learn how to choose topics, as well as the importance of how to effectively communicate their delivery. Students will be held accountable, stretched, and encouraged. Learning how to become a better communicator is a life skill. Students will have hands-on applications to stretch and grow and learn more about the art of communication. One Semester Class. Minimum 5 students. Students will create and perform speeches and there will be a showcase/tournament at the end of the semester.
