Speech and Shine

The LEAD Public Speaking Club is designed to help students build confidence, practice effective 
communication, and prepare for the district-wide Speech Contest. Through these meetings, students 
will learn the fundamentals of speech writing and delivery, while developing their own voice and style.
This club provides a supportive environment where students can practice public speaking in front of 
their peers, receive constructive feedback, and grow more comfortable presenting their ideas to an 
audience. The goal is not only to prepare for the contest but also to build lifelong skills in organization, 
self-expression, and leadership.
By the end of the club, students will:
• Understand the structure and elements of an effective speech.
• Gain experience presenting in front of an audience.
• Learn techniques for engaging listeners and speaking with confidence.
• Be prepared to participate in their school’s speech contest, with the opportunity to advance to 
the district level.
