Short films showcase the creativity of youth in the 4-H program and highlight their ability to plan, to think critically, and to create a unique and original piece of self-expression. 4-H uses video as a means to introduce the world to what 4-H'ers can do and can be. Use your creativity to be factual, funny, dramatic, artistic, promotional or all of these at once. These skills are necessary for youth to be successful in school and later on when they enter the workforce.
The 4-H program is unique in its emphasis on teaching youth these skills as well as providing the opportunity for them to showcase their skills and abilities at county, regional and state events. Members age 8 through 18 are judged using the Danish system of judging where each participant is evaluated against a specific set of criteria and awarded a blue (excellent), red (very good) or white (good) ribbon.

Review the purpose and objectives for this lesson plan. Provide a brief introduction of the lesson, including its importance to the 4-H Youth Development Program. Have participants complete the handout and lead discussion. Distribute the lesson plan quiz to each participant; following its completion, review the answers. Conclude the lesson with a time for questions from the participants. Research suggests that a sense of belonging may be the single most powerful positive ingredient we can add into the lives of children and youth. Working in clubs through 4-H strengthens and reinforces social skills that will allow youth to co-exist and thrive with others in society. Success in life rarely comes to an individual without some type of personal interaction with others. 4-H members learn early on the value of cooperation in their project work and activities. 4-H can greatly help the members to interact with others and to overcome a common fear: the fear of speaking in public. The mere thought of speaking before an audience can be paralyzing to youth and adults alike. Delivering a demonstration or talk from beginning to end in front of a group can be equally daunting and scary. Taking small steps of getting youth up front in a safe environment such as 4-H will begin to help youth overcome the fear of speaking in public. In this session, we’ll focus on these objectives. 1. 2. 3. To help youth identify what makes them scared of speaking in public. To help youth learn to plan for and around stage nerves. To help youth build their communications skills though simple speaking opportunities. Objective 1 To help youth identify what makes them scared of speaking in public. Notes for Instructor Activity procedures 1. Introduce the topic by telling a personal story about a public speaking experience (funny or serious). The story should contain something you learned about yourself as a result. 2.
Ask a few of the older youth to share a few fears they may have experienced and how they got through it. 3. Ask the kids if they also have some fear of speaking in front of groups. Reassure them that fears before or during a public presentation are normal. Explain that some fears and symptoms of nervousness will go away with practice. However, they need to learn what they might be afraid of and how they can work around those fears and still be able to share their ideas. 4. Distribute pencils or pens and the handout, “Does Speaking in Public Scare You?”, to each person. Give them 5 to 7 minutes to write down some of the fears they may have and to check off some of the symptoms this stress causes. 5. Bring the group back together to discuss their answers. Talking It Over 1. Allow at least 10 minutes for discussion, depending on the size of the group. Share the following information with the group. Being able to express their ideas and share information is very important. Even though public speaking may be hard now, the more they do it the easier it will become. Optional: Ask a local radio, television, or sports celebrity to speak to your group about his or her experiences with performance nerves. Objective 2 To help kids learn to plan for and around stage nerves. Now that we have identified our fears of speaking in public, let's take a look at some ways that we can overcome our stage nerves. To plan for and around stage fears, you must be aware of your anxieties and plan ahead to overcome them. Proper preparation and rehearsal can help to reduce fear by about 75. Proper breathing techniques can further reduce this fear by 15. Your mental state accounts for the remaining 10. There are 10 steps you can take to help you reduce your speaking fears. 1. Know the Room Arrive early and walk around the room. Stand up front by lectern or podium. Test out the microphone if using one. Walk around where the audience will be seated.
Walk from where you will be seated to the place where you will be speaking. 6 Become familiar with the place in which you will speak. Arrive early and walk around the room including the speaking area. Speak into the microphone. Walk from where you will be seated to the place where you will be speaking. 2. Know the Audience Try to greet some of the audience and chat with them. Friends are easier to talk to than a group of strangers. If possible, greet some of the audience as they arrive and chat with them. It is easier to speak to a group of friends than to a group of strangers. 3. Know Your Material Speak about things you know or that interest you. Study your material until you know it. Practice your speech. Only speak about things you know well or that interest you, so you feel confident you have something to offer the audience. If you are not familiar with your material or are uncomfortable with it, your nervousness will increase. Practice your speech or presentation and revise it until you can present it with ease. 4. Learn How to Relax Sit comfortably with your back straight. Breathe in slowly, hold your breath for 4 to 5 seconds, and then slowly exhale. To relax your facial muscles, open your mouth wide and eyes wide, and then close them tightly. Pause and open them again. You can ease tension by doing exercises. Sit comfortably with your back straight. To relax your facial muscles, open your mouth and eyes wide, and then close them tightly. Pause, and open them again. 5. Visualize Yourself Speaking Imagine yourself walking confidently to the lectern. Imagine yourself speaking, your voice loud, clear, and assured. When you visualize yourself as successful, you will be successful. Imagine yourself walking confidently to the lectern as the audience applauds. When you visualize yourself as successful, you will be successful. 7 6. Realize People Want You to Succeed Audiences want speakers to be interesting, informative, and entertaining.
They want you to succeed, not to fail. All audiences want speakers to be interesting, stimulating, informative, and entertaining. If you get nervous speaking in front of strangers, try to chat with a few members of the audience before you give your speech. This helps establish contact and makes you feel as though you’re on friendly ground. 7. Don't Apologize for Being Nervous Most nervousness does not show. If you don't say anything, nobody may notice. Most of the time your nervousness does not show at all. If you don’t say anything about it, nobody will notice. If you mention your nervousness or apologize for any problems you think you have with your speech, you’ll only be calling attention to it. Had you remained silent, your listeners may not have noticed at all. 8. Concentrate on Your Message Your nervous feelings will ease as you focus your attention away from your fears. Concentrate on your message and your audience, not yourself. Your nervous feelings will dissipate if you focus your attention away from your anxieties and concentrate on your message and your audience, not yourself. 9. Turn Nervousness into Positive Energy The same nervous energy that causes stage fright can be an asset to you. Transform this energy into vitality and enthusiasm in delivering your speech. The same nervous energy that causes stage fright can be an asset to you. Harness it, and transform it into vitality and enthusiasm. Learn a quick stress-reducing routine for relaxing your neck, shoulder and facial muscles just before giving your talk. 10. Gain Experience Experience builds confidence and reduces anxieties. Volunteer to speak when possible to build your confidence. Experience builds confidence, which is the key to effective speaking. Most beginning speakers find their anxieties decrease after each speech they give. 8 If the fear of public speaking causes you to prepare more, then the fear of speaking serves as its own best antidote.
Remember, he who fails to prepare is preparing for failure. Professional speakers say that preparation and practice are the two most critical things to do before delivering a speech. When you feel prepared and have practiced delivering the speech, the butterflies that you feel in your stomach will fly into formation very quickly. After that initial release of the voice at the podium, the butterflies begin to settle and the nerves begin to calm. Objective 3 To help youth build their communications skills though simple speaking opportunities. To help give youth opportunities to practice their speaking in public, you can begin in a 4-H Club setting, which can be referred to as a learning laboratory. You, as the leader, should set the stage for a safe learning environment. A safe learning environment in this case means that youth can make mistakes and try new things without being ridiculed or made to feel less than a whole person. You, as the volunteer leader or advisor of the club, set the tone for a fun, positive, and safe learning environment through your actions and handling of mistakes. There are a number of methods by which we can help youth build their communications skills by providing them with simple speaking opportunities. In this objective, we’ll look at some of these options. Ways you can help youth to build their public speaking skills and gain speaking experience are: 1. When doing roll call in your meetings, have youth stand to give their audible response to a question. Suggestions for using demonstrations in your club can be found in publication 4-H 689c-W, Demonstrations and Illustrated Talks. Instructor note: distribute a copy of 4-H 689c-W publication to each participant. “Fun Box” Demonstrations Instructor note: show a “Fun Box” of items that you have assembled from your home or office. As we have discussed earlier, getting up in front of a group can be a scary experience for a younger member.
Talks or demonstrations for beginning members should be short, even as short as 30 seconds at first, and about something familiar to the member. The “fun box” is a simple way to introduce demonstrations to your club. Here are simple directions to create a “fun box.” Create a “fun box” containing a variety of different, familiar, every-day items (suggested items: shoe and shoelace; bandaid and first-aid ointment; hammer, nail, and board; screwdriver and screw; can and can opener; needle and spool of thread; balloon; toothbrush and paste; instant camera and film; tape measure; pencil and pencil sharpener, items from the kitchen, etc. The list is endless.) Select members to look through the “fun box” and pick some item or items to talk about for 30 seconds to one minute. “Grab Bag” Demonstrations “Grab Bag” Demonstrations would be another option to consider. At the beginning of the meeting, a member selects a bag that has a complete kit of items needed to do a short demonstration. During the first part of the meeting, the member prepares what he or she will say about the items. The member then talks about these items or demonstrates how to use or complete the process for maybe 1-3 minutes. 10 An example of these grab bag kits would include a kitchen measuring kit with measuring spoons or measuring cups along with two bowls, a leveling knife and a supply of sugar, flour, baking soda, or another common measuring material to demonstrate to the club on how to measure. Do you see other ways you can provide the opportunities to build their communications skills within your 4-H program. We’ve looked at common fears that youth and adults have when faced with the task of speaking in public, steps to take to reduce these fears, and methods we can use to provide public speaking opportunities through the 4-H experience. What questions do you have about “Conquering Fears of Speaking in Public?” 11 Briefly review the lesson.
Then, distribute the “Conquering Fears of Speaking in Public” quiz questions. Allow volunteers time to answer the questions. Provide the correct answers from the key provided in this packet. You may choose to collect the quizzes or allow the volunteers to keep them as a review of the lesson. Thank the volunteers for their participation.
