Activity Organizer: Rose Institute Email: rosedebate@gmail.com Dates: Wednesdays Grades: 2–3 Cost: $775 Description: Rediscover rhetoric. Inspire confidence. Effective communication is a vital tool in almost every area of life, from learning in school, to creating friendships, to building a career. Public speaking remains the number one fear in the United States. At Rose Debate Institute, we believe that practicing effective communication deserves as much investment as any activity. In a public speaking program, students will have fun growing in confidence, practicing peer-to-peer communication and the art of conversation, thinking critically, and speaking persuasively and studying speech writing and the practice of rhetoric.
