This course will provide students with the opportunity to improve their oral communication skills. Students will be asked to prepare a variety of speeches (informative, persuasive, extemporaneous, and special occasion). Students will also learn to evaluate speakers and develop listening skills in this course. This course will be mostly asynchronous; however, the class will meet at least once to experience presenting a speech in front of a larger group. Otherwise, speeches will be recorded and submitted for both teacher and peer evaluation (See Dual Enrollment section for details).
