Original Oratory (Middle School Division)

Event Description:

Description:  Original Oratory is a speech written by the student with the intent to inform or persuade the audience on a topic of significance.  Oratory gives students the unique opportunity to showcase their voice and passion for their topic. An Oratory is not simply an essay about the topic—it is a well researched and organized presentation with evidence, logic, emotional appeals, and sometimes humor to convey a message. Topics may be of a value orientation and affect people at a personal level, such as avoiding peer pressure, or they can be more of a policy orientation and ask an audience to enact particular policies or solve societal problems.

Time Limit: There is a ten minute time limit with a 30 second grace period.
