Event Description:
Oral Reading (6th Grade ONLY)
Oral Reading is a non-memorized event for 1 actor, for 6th graders only. The student chooses either poetry or prose and performs it using the same rules listed above for the respective events. The material must have literary merit with no cuttings of plays used. The selection is placed in a black binder and the student reads from there. The selection is performed using facial and bodily expression as well as hand/arm gestures but the feet remain still or have extremely limited movement only if absolutely necessary in the selection. The performance includes an original memorized introduction which gets the audience’s attention in just a few sentences and includes the title and author. Introductions can start with rhetorical questions or quotes from research or famous people. The material must be from a published source. All selections must be in good taste. Maximum performance time 7 minutes
