Making It Your Own
What adjustments did you make? How did you assess student learning? What worked really well?
Project Overview
Team:
*Students will work in teams to perform a variety show where they use critical thinking and creativity to present in front of an audience. (If this sparks an interest it can become a new “club” or an opportunity for a show to help with fundraising)
Individual:
*Students will be filming a final speech for posting on YouTube
Project Summary
The purpose of this project is to expose students to the need for public speaking skills as well as to enable them to be more comfortable in front of an audience. Glossophobia is the fear of public speaking, and it is detrimental to a person’s ability to do anything from school projects, to job interviews, to being an actual professional presenter. When we focus on preparing students for the “real world”, we need to be sure they are comfortable in their endeavors. This project will help students to present themselves as their best.
