8th – Soapbox Presentations

In a normal year, we head downtown to do our Soapbox speeches in a public setting with 3-4 other schools jammed into the same small room.  There is lots of mixing and social interaction.  This year, not so much.

Yesterday, we had our Soapbox Event, albeit it was done virtually.  Students who performed well in our classroom presentations had videos of their speeches sent to the organization.  A select group of those students had their speech played yesterday.   They were then provided with feedback from a panel of judges.

  1. This experience has long term benefits for students; self-confidence, practicing public speaking, advocating for something you believe strongly in.
