What educators are saying
Description
Teaching a speech unit or public speaking course can be complex because so many aspects go into making a successful speech lesson. This file has a variety of tools to engage students as they grow as public speakers.
It contains every public speaking activity in my store, plus many more speech activities. I also have a detailed (week by week) outline of how I run a public speaking class.
