This eight-hour course focuses on instilling the six basic skills of communication:
1. Verbal Communication
2. Non-verbal Communication
3. Volume
4. Tone
5. Pitch
6. Pace
HOURS 1-2:
We define, identify and practice all six skills through: completing worksheets; watching TED talks, instructor & peer demonstrations; performing drill exercises and more. A short, non-graded quiz is then administered to ensure students understand the foundational skills before moving on.
HOURS 3-4:
We present short speeches about why we're so awesome, and then practice the basics of interpersonal communication and small-talk through mock interviews and encounters.
HOURS 5-6:
We work on thought organization and limited-preparation speaking by presenting "How To" speeches and coming up with short stories based upon a prompt of a person, place and problem.
HOURS 7-8:
Finally, hours seven and eight are spent annotating, practicing and presenting a 45-second speech about a topic of the student's choosing.
WORRY-FREE POLICY:
Fret not; if your child is unhappy after the first session, you have until 24 hours before the second session to withdraw from class, and you will receive a refund for the remainder of the hours.
