A: Yes. Learn more about returns here.

Q: What do you recommend for beginning public speakers who are in middle or high school?

A: The Beginning Public Speaking curriculum is written for an elementary-age audience, so we recommend taking a much different approach for middle and high schoolers.

For your middle and high schoolers (7th-12th grade):

Show your students the examples of speeches on the Beginning Public Speaking DVDs
Give them exercises out of the Beginning Public Speaking book
The students will NOT have a copy of any book
After the BPS curriculum, use The Art of Interpretation.
As the facilitator, you read the individual lessons and teach them out of the book to your students. Then you go to the back of the book where lesson activities are and follow the directions for those.

Again, because the material is written at a grade level far below high school, we do NOT recommend that your students have copies of either of these books. Instead of ordering individual copies of the Beginning Public Speaking book, we recommend the BPS 2-DVD Pack.
