Public Speaking Level 1
Our novice public speaking courses are designed for students who want to build confidence as public speakers and gain exposure to competitive speech events. In our public speaking course, we start by building fundamental skills such as tone, presentation, and gesticulation, before moving onto preparing for competitive speech events. During the semester, students will be exposed to impromptu speeches, interpretative speeches, and persuasive speeches. Students will be divided up into smaller groups based on their grade.

Congress
Congress is a style of debate where students work as individuals to emulate the Congressional process. Students write resolutions and bills, research their own stances on legislation, and then work to persuade their peers to support their position through speeches. In our novice congress courses, we work with students to build research skills, increase their understanding of how laws are written and enforced, and practice persuasive speaking. Students who are successful in Congress usually like learning a little bit about many different things, are comfortable working on their own, and have a knack for persuasion.
