Public speaking has taught me many things. The most important thing it has taught me is confidence in what I'm presenting. This class has taught me not to procrastinate and my writing has improved. The more you revise the better your writing will be. Overall I did not take advantage of this class and I will take everything I have learned and I will carry it over into my future creative writing classes.

I debated on dropping Public Speaking the first week of school because it was always one of my biggest fears. I decided to suck it up and try it. I do not regret sticking it out because my writing has improved and I am no longer afraid to speak in front of a room full of people.

Public speaking at first seemed like a scary class but as it continued it became more like a family than a class. We cried, laughed , and helped each other through each and every speech. This class has taught me so much I m glad I was able to join this family!

I consider myself to be a really shy person, so even though I picked to take Public Speaking myself, I was nervous. Not only has my writing improved, but I learned how to be confidence when speaking to a group of people, something that I would have never known before.

This class was awesome if you don't take your crazy... If I could take this class again I would. It totally helped with my writing and the class is also so much fun deff take this class

This was the last class I thought I'd ever take in high school. I only agreed to it because my guidance counselor said it would come in handy when I go to college. My shyness also added to my persuasion. Surprisingly, public speaking helped me get rid of my fears. I don't shake or sweat when I go in front of a crowd. I learned to keep open body language and now I can publicly speak without a worry. Public speaking helped me in an infinite amount of ways, and so I definitely recommend it to anyone and everyone.

At first, I was not sure if public speaking was the right class for me, but since I was not the best at giving and writing speeches my older sister insisted i take the course. I am glad I did. It has taught me so much and I now have the confidence to speak in front of large groups of people. I recommend this course to anyone who wants to work on their writing skills and learn how to give effective speeches.

Public speaking has taught me very much such as how to write better, how to read body language, and how to communicate with others. Most importantly, I have become more confident speaking in front of crowds. I would definitely recommend this class to others because it teaches a student skills that can be used for the rest of a person's life. Ultimately, public speaking becomes much easier and not something that is a dreaded task

I love this class so much, it is by far my favorite elective. At first I thought this class would hard, writing speeches, and persenting in front of people that you've never talked to before but as the class went on we got closer. The thing I'm going to miss the most is Mr. Stracco and his jokes.

I had a really fun time in public speaking. I definitely recommend taking this class! I am glad that overcame my fear of reading a speech in front of others. I enjoyed watching lie to me :)

Public Speaking was a course I wasn't sure I wanted to take in the beginning of the year. I'm glad I stuck it out because my writing has gotten better and I now feel a lot more comfortable talking in front of people. I would definitely recommend this course to others because it is just a great course to take.

Mr. Stracco is a great, great man. He is a teacher, supporter, and a magician. From a class full of amateurs who were shaking their knees to even stand in front of the entire class, rendered to polished students who were able to present a complete flawless speech. Not only have we learned how to speak but Mr. Stracco has taught us confidence. Then of course, there were other things we learned as well (that absolutely blew my mind!) such as noticing when someone is lying or doubting and etc. Overall, I believe that this class was very experiences and it was most I ever learned in an elective class. I would definitely recommended it to the underclassman who are debating whether to take this class. Public speaking will change who you are for the better.

Public Speaking is a great class that shows the importance of speaking out in public. It gives you confidence in public speaking. It was a Great Class and very fun.
