Public Speaking Pump Up

Help me give my students the materials necessary to become powerful public speakers.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Mueller's classroom raised $741

This project is fully funded

My Project

I work with amazing high school students that participate in forensics. Now it is not what you think, no we are not analyzing dead people, but we are participating in the oldest know form of expression -- Public Speaking.

These wonderful students spend hours writing and memorizing speeches and presentations.

Then they present them on Saturdays all day to earn the praise and critiques of peers and judges. In order for these students to do well they need some items such as presentation binders for their scripts, to make them look as good as they sound. The students need presentation tri fold boards and tripods to display their evidence to support their speeches. All of these scripts and displays need to be printed cleanly and professionally, so they need toner for our printer. They also need printed books to help them become better speakers and to research more topics and genres. These items will help them to perfect and polish their speaking talents and develop skills that will last a lifetime.
