About

The “Talk Trekkers” Intro to Public Speaking Series is an incredibly fun, highly interactive, virtual public speaking class for our growing Highest Speakers! This limited size class will ensure that students receive plenty of individual attention and feedback! In this high-energy, 5 class series, we will:

- Review the fundamentals of effective public speaking and different types of public speaking;
- Have discussions about various public speaking topics as well as other mindfulness based topics or current events;
- Play multiple public speaking games and work on public speaking quick assignments during the class;
- Present at least once to the entire group in EVERY class;
- Greatly sharpen their impromptu speaking and quick speech structuring skills;
- Receive instructor feedback and/or peer feedback; and
- Practice how to “virtually present” in these digital times!

We will engage in activities in persuasive speaking, informative speaking, entertainment speech, general speech, and storytelling. All of our instructors are teachers/public speaking professionals and are ALSO stand-up comics/performers, so your child is bound to have a great time!

** Please note, assignments may be given and are expected to be completed. Children will gain the most out of the class if they practice their learned skills outside of the class.
