The vision of this speech group is to provide opportunities for youth in a peer-positive environment to test and stretch their speaking skills by:
-exposing them to different styles of speeches and teaching them how to organize and deliver them,
-increasing confidence,
-increasing speaking skills like enunciation, elocution and delivery nuances,
-developing friendships through shared experiences, inspiration and activities,
-learning to accept and deliver respectful, constructive criticism,
-exposing them to classical speakers and their speaking styles.
For this semester, students will be allowed to participate in person or via zoom.
Cost of the semester is $10. Each student is responsible for purchasing their own text and having it ready the first day of class.
Registration and tuition is due March 3, 2021, the first day of class. Paypal arrangements may be made. If you need me to purchase the text for you (to be reimbursed by March 3), please let me know ASAP so I can get it ordered.
The following will be the outline of the class schedule March-May 2020, held every Wednesday from 3:30-4:30 pm. We will do a "kick-off" week March 3, then resume our regular schedule starting March 10th with week 1.
