Throughout the term we practice public speaking skills

Instructions: Throughout the term we practice public speaking skills. There are other venues where we hear public speakers such as: events, churches/religious gatherings, programs, school events, etc.

To receive extra credit you must go to an event that has a featured public speaker or group of public speakers. Taking down notes during the event is STRONGLY suggested.  Note: You must have a handout, ticket, website print out, background information on the speaker/s, or some kind of physical proof that you attended the event!
