Program Oral Interp (Prose/Poetry)- POI
1. General Information: Students will come prepared with a program, either prose, poetry or a combination of both.
2. Prose: Defined as a short story, a selection from a novel, a non-fictional work that has some emotional impact will qualify as prose.
3. Poetry: Defined as one long poem (unrhymed or rhymed) or several poems related thematically or written by the same author will qualify as poetry.
4. Introduction: Each student should have an introduction to the presentation. It is not uncommon for students to begin with a part of the selection or with another short piece before they offer the audience the introduction they composed. The use of such a "Teaser" is appropriate but not necessary. The introduction should include a combination of the following:
a. It should provide necessary background information such as character, situation, and/or setting
b. It should set up expectations that are then fulfilled in the presentation.
c. It MUST name the author and title in a single source selection, but can note multiple authors.
5. Type of Literature: Decide if the literature is meant to be humorous, serious, or a mixture of both.
