Public Speech Club

Whether you are giving a presentation on a school project, leading a team meeting or organizing a fundraising event, public speech skills are vital for your success in school and later in life. This public speech club is designed to introduce students to critical thinking and formats of communicating those thoughts in an organized manner. Students will be grouped in 8-10 each session under the guidance of experienced teacher and learn from the famous speakers in the history. Each student will choose a topic and organize a 10 minute speech. Through repeated practice, students will gain confidence and skill to speak to the audience.
