More details:
Over the next 6 sessions, all participants are expected to give at least 3 speeches, and give written evaluations of their peers on a weekly basis. Participants will be assigned a project at the end of each session.

If participants engage fully, at the end of the program there should be a noticeable difference in their presentation style and self-confidence. Many former participants say that the program helped them to do better in school.

Speech contests are a part of the program and are used as a motivating tool. Small prizes are given to contest winners. At the last session, parents and guests are invited to come to the program.

By the end of the program, students who come to class regularly and fully participate in the program will have learned the following:
1) How to organize a speech
2) How to make eye contact with their audience
3) How to speak loudly and clearly
4) How to use vocal variety
5) How to use gestures and movement for a more effective presentation
6) How to tell a story during a speech
7) How to fit a question in their presentation
8) How to speak without notes or use notes effectively
9) How to evaluate their peers
10) How to listen effectively
