Show My Speech!

Help me give my students access to video equipment to record their speeches. Watching recorded speeches is one of the best ways to improve speaking skills. This request is for a camera, tripod, and two memory cards.

My Project

Students love to share their ideas, but they don't always love to speak in public. By providing students with the video equipment to record themselves speaking, they will gain confidence and build their presenting abilities. This request is for a camera, tripod, and two memory cards.

Recording and watching speeches is one of the best ways to practice delivery and improve speaking skills.

This process of recording creates a formal practice without the stress of presenting in front of an audience. The recording will allow students to check for clarity of voice and message. Students will also be able to evaluate their body language during the presentation.

All high school students are required to take Oral Communications to graduate. However, not all are gifted in the art of public speaking. This equipment is important to help grow confidence in students who struggle with the requirement. Please help my students find their voice!
