Description

Are you looking for a way to help your teen gain the skills to stand out in the classroom? "Engaging Youth Speakers Level 1" is the perfect public speaking class for students aged 12-17. In this class, your teen will learn how to: - Grab an audience's attention from the start - Avoid common pitfalls when speaking in class - Write speeches that are vivid and engaging - Create slides that enhance rather than detract from presentations - Speak confidently and handle Q&A sessions with ease Additionally, each class features an "Off the Top" segment where students will practice the art of impromptu speaking. This will help them build confidence for job interviews, answering questions from teachers, making new friends, and more. Final project is a showcase event where students will deliver a 3-5 minute presentation to an audience.
