Junior Varsity Speech Syllabus, Fall, 2024
Coach: Tanya Aviles, Email: [email protected]; Phone: 615-480-3890
This syllabus is subject to change and I will notify parents if I make any changes throughout the semester. Class time will include learning the structure and elements of each type of speech, watching demonstrations, participating in workshops, presenting prepared speeches for feedback and lots of impromptu practice. All students will be expected to participate in at least one prepared speech category and one impromptu speech category at Ambassador Club’s fall and spring tournaments. As we get closer to the fall tournament, we will devote some of our time to learning about and preparing for JV Student Congress.
