Creating Memorable Speeches-Part I, by Alicia Casas.
For 4th-5th Grades

This two-part workshop will explore the process a writer and speaker must navigate to deliver an engaging and memorable informative speech. The days will be split into 1.content 2. delivery. The first day will be dedicated to the content of the speech, which encompasses the complete writing process using a full sentence outline format. The second day we meet will be devoted to delivering your prepared speech, with a focus on effective verbal and non-verbal delivery strategies. You will conclude both workshops feeling like a confident and accomplished public speaker.

About our Saturday Seminars for Students:

Our Saturday Seminars use a "lab school" model, in which teachers and students participate in the presenter’s workshop lesson together in small groups, generally including the following: mini-lesson on writing craft, study of a mentor text, demonstration of innovative and engaging pedagogical strategies, large blocks of time for students and teachers to write, and sharing writing in small groups or whole group.
