On Thursday January 6, 2011, Mrs. Goodyear, our guest speaker, enlightened our Daniels Student Council on the "Art of Public Speaking". She shared her 4 key points that will help students become better speakers now and in the future. Here are her 4 keys:
1. Volume
2. Diction
3. Eye-contact
4. Energy
She demonstrated good speaking and then provided fun activities such as finding our diaphragm by pushing in on the muscle as we spoke, challenging the students to speak clearly using pencils, then repeating the same phrase without a pencil. Finally, each student was given an opportunity to practice speaking in front of the group. The experience was extremely helpful as the Daniels student council finds many opportunities to speak to the public. Mrs. Goodyear has given the students a life long skill. Thanks!
I am including three pictures from our activity.
