Event Description:

Using a short story, parts of a novel, or another published work of prose, students provide an interpretation of one or more selections with a time limit of five minutes, including introduction. Utilizing a single piece of literature, Prose (PRO) can be drawn from works of fiction or non-fiction. Prose corresponds to usual (ordinary/common) patterns of speech and may combine elements of narration and dialogue. Students may not use poetry, nor drama (plays), in this category. Students must use a manuscript in Prose, which typically consists of a small three-ring binder with page protectors. There is a 7-minute time limit with a 30-second grace period.
