To open the new year, we are turning our attention to a different area of language arts. According to the classical model, there are four of them. What are these arts? Listening, speaking, reading, and writing. Today, the seventh day of Christmas, we would like to center our gifts on the language art of speaking. Formal speaking involves narration, memorization, and presentation. To help you teach your students these skills in this important area, we are gifting to you information from Teaching Writing: Structure and Style that will provide helpful guidance to you to teach your students how to have poise at the podium. Andrew Pudewa presents a strong example of how an accomplished speaker establishes rapport and keeps his audience engaged in his recent conference talk However Imperfectly. We are gifting to you the entire video presentation. In it Andrew shares wisdom and insights he has gleaned from his more than thirty years of teaching. It’s a compelling talk that we think you will greatly enjoy. (If you would like to purchase a hard copy of the book, which contains more than fifty of Andrew’s pedagogical pieces, click here.) And as a reminder, we are still sharing the first lesson and handouts to Structure and Style for Students and a code for free shipping.
