Class Experience
What is Public Speaking? When do we speak in public? I will talk about posture, hand gestures and eye contact with the audience in Public Speaking. What does the onlooker think when we do not make eye contact? What do we think when someone does not look us in the eye? A child's body language is important; the importance of a good posture will be discussed. The importance of open hand gestures will be explained along with eye contact with the audience. I will discuss my own fears and nervousness and how I got rid of them; how empowered and energized I felt when I spoke well in front of an audience. The child may select any topic of choice; could describe the family dog, cat or his/her favorite doll. The child could also croon his/her favorite song. I shall ask for the topic the child would like to present a day or two before the class and get to know each child a little from the parent. As this is a multi-day class, the sessions will roughly follow the agenda listed here. Introduction - 5 minutes Topic Introduction and Explanation - 10 minutes Each Participant Practice session on a topic and feedback - 30-35 mins (5 participants) Positive reinforcement of a student's strengths & Learning and takeaway - 15 minutes.
