Public Speaking for Middle School and High School Students
at The Homeschool Resource Center
307 S. Parsons Ave. Brandon, 33511
2021-2022 School Year
Wednesdays beginning January 2022
1:00-2:00 PM
One of the biggest fears humans have is public speaking. While this class might still be “scary,” it is my hope to alleviate some of the concern. In an age of “don’t call me, text me,” some of our formal writing and speaking skills have suffered. Proper planning, research, and execution will be learned within the four, focused speeches:
1. Narrative
2. Biography
3. Argumentative
4. Non-Biographical Informative
Added public speaking exercises within class, including but not limited to, impromptu speech writing will happen.
Supplies:
notebook or binder & pen or pencil for taking notes
3x5” notecards
Cost: $200 for 15 weeks. If enrolling in two Wednesday semesters whether fall or spring, cost is $300 for both courses.
(Payment in full or payment arrangement must be made PRIOR to admittance to class regardless if seats are open in compliance with HEAT policies.)

Teacher Bio: My name is Amy Loesch and I will be teaching English 101, 201, Creative Writing, Public Speaking, World Religions, Old Testament, New Testament, and History. I graduated in 2009 with a BA in Religious Education. I continued my MA in Teaching in Secondary English, but had to stop shy of my semester of student teaching due to deployment. Since then, I've been a substitute teacher at Providence Classical Christian Academy in St. Louis, MO, have been homeschooling my four children since winter of 2016, and have taught numerous classes with the HEAT program. My philosophy is that no student learns exactly the same as another and that learning should be hard work but FUN!
Spaces are limited for these courses and will fill as payment is received .You may pay via PayPal, drop payment by the Homeschool Resource Center or mail to Tampa Bay HEAT, 1011 Knowles Rd. Brandon, 33511.
