From picture books to chapter books, this class will teach you to take written text and present it in creative ways! With Storytelling, you will retell stories in your own words. The Oral Interpretation component will walk you through paying homage to an author by staying true to the text. Preparing and presenting a speech with visual aids will give you and your students confidence in front of others! What's most exciting about this course is that you can use these three genres of Public Speaking in your current History, Science, and Literature units while implementing the ELA Common Core Standards!
