Description

Communication and Speech

 

Grades: 7th-8th


Course Description:
Which came first the speaker or the listener? In this class, we will be practicing the skills of
both. This class will incorporate three components: analyzing and debating words through
famous quotations, practicing small talk, and delivering formal speeches.
With the incorporation of fun speech activities, the students will gain confidence in their public
speaking abilities. We will focus on verbal and non-verbal skills, the specific words we use and
hear, and making meaningful small talk that is directed and purposeful.
We will also practice more formal speech expression. The students will learn to develop and
deliver Dramatic Interpretation, Duo Interpretation, Persuasive and Mars Hill speeches. They
will use the skills accumulated during class instruction to deliver speeches.

* The topics will differ from the previous year, so those who took it this year can retake it!

 

Homework: Most weeks, there will be no homework, and in other weeks, the students will
memorize speeches.

 

Materials Needed: None

Bio:
After earning her Multiple Subject Teaching Credential at Cal State Fullerton, Arika’s first
teaching position was in the Kindergarten classroom. Since then, she has held various
K-9th grade positions teaching public, private, virtual, and home school classes.
Teaching over the past 20+ years has allowed Arika to understand better how each
student learns. She can make learning interactive, engaging, and fun through a
conversational style classroom and by giving positive encouragement. Therefore,
students will be more knowledgeable and inspired after attending classes.
During the past 12 years, Arika has been homeschooling her two daughters, a high
school junior and a college sophomore (off at college now), and helping homeschool
families navigate their homeschool journeys. She also enjoys coaching homeschool
moms by assisting them in gaining confidence and clarity while following God's lead.
However, if you asked her what she does with her free time, she’d say drinking tea,
napping, or reading a book.
