Ambassadors: Public Speaking For Christian Students

It is important that home school students are able to discuss life issues from a biblical worldview in a manner that glorifies God. Early exposure to speaking in front of people allows you to overcome your fears and become comfortable speaking to an audience at a relatively young age. The public speaking course gives every child an opportunity to learn public speaking fundamentals and practice: improvisation, giving impromptu speeches, presenting persuasive speeches, and receiving constructive evaluation. Students will: o Learn about kids in the Bible that defended their faith o Increase their self-confidence and communication skills o Identify techniques speakers use to effectively communicate their messages o Present a book or movie review, newscast, instructional segment, or current events report o Deliver a short speech from a list of selected topics Relevant K-12 National Standards NL-ENG.K-12.4 Communication Skills: Students adjust their use of spoken, written, and visual language (e.g., conventions, style, vocabulary) to communicate effectively with a variety of audiences and for different purposes.
