Competitive Speech and Writing Class for 2-3 Grade Students
at Young Genius, Bay Area Speech and Debate Academy, 505 East Charleston Rd, Palo Alto on Saturdays 9-11am
Young Genius, Bay Area Speech and Debate Academy's Competitive Speech and Writing Class for 2-3 grade students class focuses on introducing and honing students' abilities in the important leadership skill of public speaking, as well as improving their writing skills. Students will employ different tools in their speech presentations. 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.
This class will teach your student: confident presentation skills, audience connectedness, control of speaking anxiety, vocal variety, use of non-verbal communication techniques and use of visual aids.
Students will also 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 audience of any size.
