Speech team is a great place for those who like theater, drama, presenting, memorizing, performing, or even doing a little research to prove a point- there is a place for everyone on the speech team.
You will choose 2 categories, memorize a speech, and present to a small group (1 adult, 4-5 students). You will gain confidence in public speaking, make new friends, and have a great time!
Categories available-
* Demonstration (you get to show/explain how to do something you love)
* Duo (work with a second student to present a skit standing back to back)
* Drama (choose a speech with some feeling and memorize it)
* Humor (choose a funny speech to memorize)
* Poetry (choose 3 poems with a theme or same author and read with expression)
* Original Oratory - 7th and 8th graders only- write your own speech about a topic that matters to you, memorize, and present
* Extemporaneous- 8th graders only - you're given a "hot topic" and have 45 minutes on the spot to research facts and create/present an argument for or against that using a notecard to help you
*Radio - 8th graders only- use your best radio personality to call a judge on the phone to create and present a news article, a live remote, and read a commercial "on air".
