Day 13 of the Countdown to CHRISTmas-Hallelujah Chorus

This video is making its second appearance here at the countdown.  I was introduced to this last year and just had to put it in.  Can you imagine being at a mall and having this incredible scene unfold?

This is the Opera Company of Philidelphia signing Hallelujah in one of their Random Acts of Culture.  Take a look at the faces of those in the “audience.”

Enjoy!

NEW at Art of Eloquence: UPDATED Sample Lessons

We’ve updated all our sample lessons!

Over the last year, I have been working almost exclusively on new communication studies, especially the ones that you have told us you needed.  Over the year, we have released:

Say What You Mean Debating the Issues

 

Say What You Mean Overcoming Social Anxiety

 

Say What You Mean Beginning Debate

 

Say What You Mean Avoiding, Reducing and Resolving Conflicts

 

This past year has left me precious little time to do some much needed revising of our website…and you all know how UNtechie I am.  Well, in the past few weeks, I’ve been working on several aspects of our website and today I’m ready to announce our first series of changes: UPDATED Sample Lessons!

After much techie frustration, I have finally been able to update and upload revised versions of the seven sample lessons that we have had, mostly for our homeschool curricula, and HEEEEEEAR they are!

 

Say What You Mean for Preschoolers

Say What You Mean for Kids

Say What You Mean for Teens

Know Your Audience

Say What You Mean: A Creative Speech Course

 

 

Say What You Mean: Defending the Faith

Each sample lesson link is located toward the bottom of the page so feel free to browse!  I am currently working to create sample lessons for some of our newer studies which do not yet have them.  I should be finished with them all by Wednesday, so come on back to the blog and check them out!

Classical Music Speech Challenge

How did you all do last week with your impromptu speech?  What topic did you choose?  Please share your experience!  This is the last week of the challenge and we are going to step it up one more time.  But I know you are all up to it!

This week, I want you to put what you learned this month together and give an impromptu speech on one of the fun topics listed below.  This time also watch that you are loud enough for those in the back of the room to hear you and that you aren’t rushing through your speech.  Maintain good eye contact with your audience and have fun with your topic!  Show your personality!

Suggested Topics:

1. The importance of classical music

2. Pick a classical composer and share why you like his music

3. Explain why they say you learn better with classical music playing in the background

4. Explain why you believe classical music is boring
