Beginning Public Speaking – Ages 5 -11

Whenever you identify yourself as a Christian, you are a communicator for Christ. Teresa Moon has made it her life message and ministry to equip young people to be effective communicators for Christ. Beginning Public Speaking is the first step. Designed for elementary students, this material provides everything needed for an introduction to public speaking: lesson plans, assignments, tests, discussion materials and activities. The materials mention using DVDs to help with instruction. The Teacher’s Edition provides lessons plans for ten class meetings (usually 1.5 – 2 hrs. in length). The lesson plans alternate between class discussions and activities, and having the class participants prepare, give, and evaluate their own presentations. Each class meeting concludes with an assignment – usually preparing a new type of speech. The Student Workpack, which is not reproducible, includes activity worksheets, critique sheets, and event specifics for the following different types of speeches: impromptu, expository, humorous, and extemporaneous speaking; dramatic and humorous interpretations; and persuasive oratory.
