Public Speaking for Kids
Public Speaking for Kids was designed to help teachers teach youngsters the basic elements of good speaking and to instill in them a sense of confidence as they communicate orally with others. In Section I students are presented with the basic elements of good speaking. They learn to use their voices correctly and to apply eye contact, body language, and facial expressions in the proper manner. Tips on varied ways to prepare for oral presentations are given. Section II offers a variety of speaking experiences, both formal and informal, for solo or group presentations. Students learn to use oral language for various purposes and for various audiences and gain poise and become more confident about speaking in front of a group. They will also learn to write speeches and to prepare for oral assignments. Section III provides a unique culminating activity that focuses on the students own community. Parents, teachers, other classes, and administrators will be invited to attend the event. After researching important sites within their community, students will develop talks about these interesting places. Using well-prepared speeches, students will act as tour guides and take the audience on a journey all around the town.
