The purpose of this event is to provide opportunities for students to meet the following content standards: A. Students will communicate orally using various forms; B. Students will apply knowledge of verbal and nonverbal language to communicate effectively; C. Students will adapt messages appropriate to audience, purpose, and situation; and D. Students will demonstrate confidence as communicators, and find value and satisfaction in communicating with others. |
