SPEECH & COMMUNICATION
Speech & Communication is a one semester class designed to help students develop speaking and organization skills.
-
Students will research, prepare, and deliver a biographical speech, informative speech, and persuasive/inspirational speech, as well as learn effective interpersonal communication skills. We will also write a resume, fill out a job application, write letters, and thank you notes. Fundamental interview skills will also be addressed.
-
Class time will consist of short lectures, discussions, individual and group exercises and quizzes, occasional short videos to watch and discuss, and review of student papers.
-
Work requirements outside of class will include weekly reading and writing assignments and lengthy take-home tests. Research is frequently required: the library and online resources can both be helpful.
-
There are no prerequisites to take this course, other than the student being capable of high school level course work.
-
This course is worth 1/2 credit of high school English.
