G6 UP Public Speaking
Great speakers know how to capture an audience's attention and keep them engaged. They
craft beautiful sentences, use vivid images, and make people want to know more! In this
class, you'll examine some of the most frequently viewed TED talks and learn how to write
and deliver your own. You'll present your final talk to an audience!
G6 Debate
Verbal communication is becoming a lost art! We need to know how to speak - to our friends, our families, and to our colleagues. Students need to learn to express themselves in constructive and effective ways and how to respectfully disagree with those who do not see
things the same way. In this class, students will develop research, communication, critical
thinking, and argumentation skills. They will research topics and learn to separate logic from emotion when arguing a point of view. Students will form teams and participate in debates.
