Event Description:
Impromptu is a public speaking event where students have seven minutes to select a topic, brainstorm their ideas, outline and deliver a speech. The speech is given without notes and uses an introduction, body, and conclusion. The speech can be light-hearted or serious. It can be based upon prompts that range from nursery rhymes, current events, celebrities, organizations, and more. At the 2021 online National Tournament, Prepared Prompt Speaking will take the place of Impromptu. Students will be given a list of topics prior to the tournament, select one prompt from the official list, prepare a speech, and submit it through the recording process.
