You're The Expert
Event Description:
You’re the Expert: In this solo event a student will be sent through the chat 3 “expert” titles/professional expertise areas and quickly select one expert to portray. The judge will then read the expert interview questions that match the prompt title chosen; start the timer; and read the interview questions, one at a time, pausing to allow the student to answer each in turn. The paper will have a total of 5 questions to ask the “expert” about their selected field. Knowledge of the expert’s field is not required and the responses may be humorous or serious in nature, however, students should strive for a natural, realistic and convincing portrayal. Content and delivery should both be evaluated.
Time Limit: 7 minutes with a 30 second grace period or 5 questions, whichever comes first.
