🪶Decorate and disguise their turkey template
🪶Use art materials to create costumes and accessories
🪶Share their final creations with classmates and families
🪶Enjoy a lighthearted, hands-on activity that encourages creativity and family bonding

LeadWorthy is an essential class for all 6th-grade students at Ash Fork Schools, dedicated to leadership and character education that empowers students to lead with purpose and compassion. One of the standout experiences in LeadWorthy is delivering speeches. Students often recall the excitement and nervousness that accompany their first presentation.
While speaking in front of peers can be daunting, the initial nerves quickly transform into a powerful opportunity to showcase their skills. Students are given ample time to organize their thoughts using graphic organizers and prepare with index cards, setting them up for success.
During their presentations, two supportive classmates sit beside them, creating a positive atmosphere. The speech rubric focuses on key elements such as posture, eye contact, timing, tone of voice, and overall completion of the speech. After each presentation, students receive affirmations and constructive feedback that highlights areas for growth, ensuring they are equipped to build on their successes and improve each time. This process instills a sense of confidence and empowerment.
As Luke confidently stated, “Practicing speeches fosters essential social interactions for future jobs and business opportunities.” Layla echoed this sentiment, saying, “It prepares you so that if you need to give a speech for a job, you know exactly what to do.” Mark pointed out, “If you aspire to be president, mastering the art of delivering speeches is vital to your success.” Furthermore, Davian emphasized, “When it’s time to give a speech, you’ll know to plan and practice in advance, which will eliminate any fear of public speaking.”
