PUBLIC
SPEAKING INTRODUCTION LESSON PLAN
Material:
Suggested Method of Instruction:
The teacher or facilitator could
either read through the content
of the lesson or could require
the students to read it on their
own.
After going over the content,
students should answer the
questions on their own in
writing. When they are finished,
the answers can be discussed
aloud or could be reviewed by
the teacher or facilitator.
Evaluation Method:
Students' responses to the
questions should be graded based
on their honest ability to
reflect on what the question was
asking. Older students will
obviously have more complex
responses than younger students.
Responses should demonstrate
that the students have given
serious consideration to them.
Optional Follow-up Activity:
Teachers or facilitators could
give students a chance to
practice the strategies for
combating stage fright by
assigning a brief speech
assignment, such as an
introduction speech or a reading
of a favorite poem. As part of
the assignment, require students
to write down the steps they
took to combat their feelings of
anxiety and to evaluate their
effectiveness.
