Seven Habits: Becoming a Public Speaker
8 activities in this free course.
This free, project-based learning course builds two skills at once: reading comprehension and public speaking. You will read 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens using active-reading strategies, then write and deliver your own speech that connects the book’s principles to your life.
Work through the eight activities in order. Each one pairs a short video or reading with a hands-on assignment, and ends with a checkpoint you submit for instructor review.
You’ll need the book. This course is built around Sean Covey’s 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens.
