Speaking Products

In this twelve-week course, middle and high school students learn memory and delivery techniques as they write and present five speeches: self-introductory, narrative, expository, persuasive, and impromptu. Students evaluate recorded speeches in preparation for self-evaluation. This self-explanatory program empowers teachers to help students become competent and confident public speakers.

Armed with a method and a plan, parents and teachers using the Linguistic Development through Poetry Memorization course will provide students with a way to memorize poetry that will help them become excellent writers and speakers.

Blaise Pascal observed that many of humanity’s problems “stem from man’s inability to sit quietly in a room alone.” If true in 1654, how much more is it so today in a world where all of us—young and old—suffer from screen-induced attention deficiencies and fractured concentration? Indeed, as we increasingly depend on external stimulation for diversion, our ability to reflect, remember, compare, and contemplate seems to wane. Andrew Pudewa addresses this dependence as well as practical ways we can help our students develop essential thinking skills.

After years of teaching, Andrew Pudewa realized that students’ frustrations were often caused by teaching mistakes. Have you committed one of these errors in your teaching? Overcorrecting, holding back help, unclear assignments, and over-expectation can frustrate your students and hamper your best efforts. Join Andrew Pudewa to learn how to overcome and avoid these four deadly errors of teaching writing.
