Power Talk: Public Speaking Fundamentals

A five-session course that develops public speaking skills through discussion, modeling, and interactive speaking activities. Students practice verbal and nonverbal techniques, learn organization and delivery strategies, and transform written ideas into effective oral presentations while receiving constructive feedback.

No prior public speaking experience is required. Learners should come willing to participate in guided speaking activities and supportive group discussions.

Materials needed:

Learners should have a notebook or lined paper available for notes, reflection activities, and speech preparation. A writing utensil and optional note cards may also be helpful during presentation practice activities.
