We like to stress the importance of communication skills and get kids to confront their fears - in this case one of the greatest single fears out there, namely public speaking. Our Hoggatt Cave project is a terrific way to work on both of these. Most of my criticism of our tour guides has always been to slow down, enunciate, and speak louder. As we work the cave tours, this week, students get to practice their public speaking skills in the dark, holding a flashlight.
