1-28-2014 PS--Gear Up for Wednesday!

Hi Public Speaking Students,

I hope you have enjoyed having Monday and Tuesday off. I'm sure you've heard the concern about getting back to school and making up class time that has been missed. I believe that Dr. Dressen and our administrative team has come up with a great plan to minimize the amount of time we've been out of the classroom.

I want to assure you that I've been working diligently to adjust plans accordingly and we will be just fine in Public Speaking.On Wednesday, we will take care of some housekeeping items and then dig into the Colors Speech. We will be just fine on timing--especially with the days added back in.

As always, if you have any questions, feel free to email me at Jonathan.Buckley@edinaschools.org or visit with me before or after class. 

I'm looking forward to seeing all of you. STAY WARM!

Mr. Buckley

Welcome to Public Speaking!

Welcome to Public Speaking! My name is Mr. Buckley and I'm really looking forward to this class! Public Speaking will give you the opportunity to distinguish yourself from others by gaining experience communicating in many different situations. I'm also excited to teach important communication theory and skills through the use of real-life activities and technology. My goal is for this to be one of the best electives you ever take at Edina High School while gaining valuable communication knowledge, skills, and experience!
