A State champion in a speech event and a Berkley graduated instructor is teaching Pre-Public Speaking and Writing course for Elementary School students at our center in Los Gatos. .
The objective of this class is to introduce and begin to hone students' ability in the important leadership skill of public speaking as well as improve writing skills. Students will employ different tools in their speech presentations. Some exercises will be to practice giving prepared speeches or reading short stories; everyone gives the same speech. Other sessions will revolve around a short writing exercise and present the writing product orally to the group. 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 like voice quality, tone, volume, articulation, pronunciation, eye contact, and body gestures to make an effective presentation. They will learn how to use different methods to move through their speech. The main skills we expect to use are memorization, full speech manuscripts, and outline. 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 audiences of any size.
This class is important preparation for our Speech/Debate program and forensics league.
Classes are on Saturdays 11:45 a.m-1:15 p.m and 1:30 - 3:00pm, and Mondays 11am-12:30pm.
