Extemporaneous
Event Description:
Extemporaneous Speaking is a public speaking event in which a speaker draws three slips of paper out of an envelope. On these slips are questions based on current events. The speaker must choose the question he/she is most comfortable speaking about. The questions asked of the contestant will deal with current events in either Domestic or International issues. After reading the options, the contestant chooses one topic, and then has thirty minutes to write and memorize a speech (5-7 minutes). This speech is then delivered in front of a judge who judges the speech based on content, analysis of the question, and delivery. VHSL allows students to use a 4x6 notecard.
