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

This month I’m going to challenge all you homeschoolers to teach an intimidating subject, if even for only four short, weekly lessons this month. Each of my Monday posts here on Communication FUNdamentals this month will give you an easy and fun way to have your student(s) give a short speech.
