Speak Up for Middle School Students
Speech and Public Speaking Class
Free student-led class for middle school students to learn public speaking skills!
Students in grades 6-8 are invited to sign up for a free 4-session class to improve their speaking skills for school presentations and formal speech tournaments.
Student-teacher Ashley Wang, a junior at The Branson School, took speech class throughout middle school and is a former champion of the Marin County Margie Burke Speech Tournament.
Ashley will help middle school students develop crucial public speaking skills, lessons which are not always available in school settings.
In this class, Impromptu Speaking Skills will be introduced and students will walk out of the course confident in speaking on the spot on a variety of topics. Ashley will teach students skills, tips, and tricks that can be applied to formal speech structures, classroom discussions and presentations, and everything in between.
The class will be taught on four consecutive Saturday afternoons at the Library. Students should attend all four sessions.
