EMPOWERING STUDENTS TO FIND THEIR VOICES!
The Camino Real Speech League aims to provide middle school students with the opportunity to develop and exercise confidence in the areas of public speaking and performance.
The program is adapted to meet the Common Core State Standards. Students are trained to adapt speech to a variety of contexts tasks, demonstrating command of formal English. Students are also given opportunities to use their knowledge of language and its conventions when writing, speaking, reading, or listening. |
