IMPROMPTU SPEAKING

The total time given to each speaker shall not exceed seven (7) minutes. There is a 30-second grace period. Students who exceed the time limit by more than 30 seconds should not be given first place in the panel. Participants will use this time for both presentation and delivery. The time begins immediately after the student selects his/her/their topic.
Students may take notes during their preparation but may not have their notes with them during the delivery of the speech.
The judge will show the student three choices from which the student will select one which he/she/they will prepare and deliver the speech within the allotted seven-minute time period.
Once a participant sees the topic, he/she/they must remain in the room and may not converse with any other individual until his/her/their presentation is completed.
The tournament director will prepare topics which are varied. They may come from such areas as objects, holidays, aphorisms, abstract nouns, famous people, fictional people, or any other thematic group that is appropriate for high school competition. Participants are encouraged to relate to the topic by adapting it to the thesis.
