🎤 Talk Trekkers: Level 2 – Confident Communicators

Grades 2–4 | 5 Weeks | 1 Hour Per Week
(Prerequisite: Talk Trekkers Intro Class or Camp — see below)
MUST BE IN GRADES 2-4!

If your child has completed our Intro to Public Speaking class or camp, they’re ready for the next step!
Level 2 builds on the foundations of content, structure, and performance, helping students grow into more expressive, confident, and purposeful speakers.

In this high-energy and supportive course, students dig deeper into their delivery skills while learning how to write, organize, and speak with clarity using notecards — not memorization. We focus on helping young speakers think on their feet while staying organized and strong in their message.

🌟 In Level 2, Students Will:

💡 LEARN

- Refine their understanding of speech structure and clarity across storytelling, persuasive, and informative formats
- Strengthen vocal control — volume, tone variation, pacing, and expression
- Sharpen nonverbal delivery — posture, movement, body language, and eye contact
- Learn to write with delivery in mind, crafting speeches that are designed to be spoken out loud
- Develop confidence using notecards as speaking tools, not scripts

🎤 DO

- Present longer, more thoughtful speeches in a variety of formats
- Participate in fun, focused delivery games and challenges
- Learn to use notecards to stay organized and natural while speaking
- Give and receive peer feedback in a safe, supportive environment

📈 IMPROVE

- Receive individualized coaching on both speaking and structure
- Practice applying instructor feedback in real-time
- Gain tools for rehearsing with notecards and speaking with confidence

📝 End-of-Course Written Assessment
Each student will receive a personalized written evaluation from their instructors at the end of the course, including:

- A summary of their strengths and progress:
- Areas they should continue to build
- Specific recommendations to grow as a speaker beyond class
