Speaking in public classes prepare learners for a task that daunts so many people. Learners write their own speeches, researching the topics, creating visual aids, and presenting them from memory (although they can use notecards, if they prefer). As they progress through the grades, they will develop the ability to speak clearly and project their voice for an audience. They will discover the techniques they require to engage an audience and to structure their speech effectively.
