Original Oratory and Informative Speaking allow students the freedom to write and deliver a message that is entirely their own. Students craft a ten-minute speech and deliver it entirely from memory. Speeches contain arguments that use a combination of evidence, logic and emotional appeals. Students develop their voice and learn how to share a message that they are passionate about.
How we teach | How students grow
Our oratory faculty work closely with campers to develop a speech about a topic that interests them; we never write speeches for students. In our workshops, we guide students through a process of developing their own ideas. We challenge them to strengthen their speech with proof points that can connect with listeners. We help students make adjustments to their arguments that will make them stronger and clearer. Through ongoing practice and rounds of feedback, campers gain confidence in their piece of work and find their voice.
Original Oratory and Informative Speaking at ISD: Online
I don’t think any of us would be Original Orators if we didn’t believe in the magic of speaking to others live and in-person. However, we are also a community that believes in solutions! At ISD, we are more than ready to greet the challenges of speaking while in a digital environment. Our instructors are committed to helping you share your voice regardless of the platform.
From Our Curriculum Director
“At ISD, you won’t learn to simply write a persuasive speech; we take the time to help you craft a speech that is yours; a speech you care about; a speech you’ll feel excited and proud to give throughout the year.”
