In this class students will develop fluency, spontaneity and confidence while having FUN! We will be writing-OUT-LOUD through improvisational speech games and practicing reading aloud through performing FUN Christian based skits. The goal is to learn public speaking skills in a safe non-threatening environment among friends so that we may be bold ambassadors of Christ! The best way to learn to speak up is simply by doing it- a lot. We will learn character development, how to tell, put together and perform a good story. Excellent public speaking skills will be developed by learning and practicing how to speak for both sides of a topic. We will have fun with props, make some and use them effectively.

This school year we’ll be having fun with reading and writing! Each quarter we’ll cover a few different types of literature and learn writing styles including Descriptive, Narrative, Persuasive and Informational.

Winter Quarter we will read two novels “The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe” and “Swiss Family Robinson”. We will be discussing these novels during class time and practice writing both persuasive and informational papers that will go along with the novels.

Spring Quarter we will read, analyze and write simple poetry.
