Public Speaking skills are valuable communication tools that youth need to fully succeed in their school and career path. 4-H offers various ways to teach public speaking and other communication lessons. A parent representative of a local home school group contacted Campbell County 4-H agent to arrange a series of public speaking lessons and competitions to prepare for the county 4-H speech competition in March of 2020.
The lessons will be held over a total of 6 weeks for 2 age groups: 1st-4th grade and 5th – 8th grade. There will be a total of 26 students in the groups. The primary goal of the 4-H age youth will be to compete at the county speech final. Lessons from the 4-H Communications Curriculum will be used during the sessions.
