He gave us a mouth to speak clearly, eyes to focus on others and a brain to sort out ideas. In this class we will be focusing on several aspects of public speaking including: the making of a good speaker, using the proper tools for public speak-ing, knowing your audience, and using different types of speeches effectively.

Students will present at least 2 types of speeches during each semes-ter. Therefore, class time is allotted for them to research topics and to prepare. But please understand they should practice at home in front of a mirror, parents and/or siblings.
