Speech classes offer a unique chance for children to gain experience in speaking in front of small groups.
Focus is put on the development of language and research, so that students become more knowledgeable about their speech topics and can speak with ease and comfort.
In Addition, the small classroom conditions allows for students to discuss their progress in a team environment, and learn how to give and receive constructive feedback.
By the end of these classes, students will gain better understanding of how to research, write, and deliver a speech to their classes, eventually coquer the fear of public speaking. |

The course is designed for middle school debaters and focuses on public forum debate. Consequently, the class begins with an introduction to the parts of an argument and the fundamental elements of debate -- speaking styles, speeches, times, sides, goals, etc.
Once students grasp the initial elements of the game, we begin debating and continue throughout the course.
Students should expect to debate each week. New topics are introduced each month, most of which are generated from current events or National Junior Forensic League (NJFL) suggestions. |
