Learn the Fundamentals of Public Speaking and Debate

Through collaboration and discussion, students practice speaking and reflect on what makes a good speaker. Practicing good public speaking and debate encourages students to express their ideas clearly and logically.

Students also learn about using PowerPoint and props to support their presentations. Public speaking is no easy task, but the best way to hone competence is through practice and constructive feedback!
