Welcome to the Articulation Mastery class project! In this exciting and practical assignment, you'll have the opportunity to apply the skills and knowledge you've gained throughout the course by designing your very own articulation drill plan. Think of it as a personalised workout routine for your speech articulators - the jaw, tongue, vocal cords, and more!

Project Objective:

The primary goal of this project is for you to develop a tailored articulation drill plan that focuses on enhancing your articulation skills and addressing specific areas covered in the course, such as jaw movement, tongue control, de-voicing, and more. This plan will serve as a structured roadmap to help you achieve your speech and clarity goals effectively.

Project Steps:

Identify Your Articulation Goals: Begin by pinpointing the areas of articulation you want to improve. Consider aspects like clarity, precision, accent reduction, or any personal speech-related goals you have.
Research and Resources: Explore additional resources and materials that can support your articulation drill plan.
Design Your Articulation Exercises : Pick a series of exercises that target your chosen articulation goals. Be specific about the techniques you'll use for each exercise, such as tongue twisters, vowel/consonant drills, or breathing exercises.
Schedule Your Articulation Workouts : Develop a structured weekly schedule that outlines when and how often you'll practice your articulation exercises. Consider your availability and set realistic goals.
Measure and Track Progress : Establish methods for tracking your progress over time. This could include recording yourself, keeping a journal, or seeking feedback from peers or instructors.
Modify and Adapt (Week 9-10): As you progress, evaluate the effectiveness of your articulation drill plan. If needed, make adjustments to address any challenges or to intensify your training.

Feel free to use the attached template as a guide, it would be great to share your templates and routines in the project gallery, detailing which exercises work best for you. You can even add in journal notes/ diagrams and pictures as you go- tracking your progress week on week and what exercises have helped your articulation quickest.

Everyone's journey is unique and so feel free to use one another's templates as inspiration but by no means what you should do to find success!
