Impromptu

Event Description:

Impromptu is a public speaking event where students have seven (7) 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.Impromptu is a public speaking event that tests a student’s ability to analyze a prompt, process his or her thoughts, organize the points of the speech, and deliver them in a clear, coherent manner. Students’ logic is extremely important. They must be able to take an abstract idea, such as a fortune from a fortune cookie, and put together a speech that has a thesis and supporting information.

A list of prompts for Impromptu will be posted on Monday, October 17th. Students will have up to the video submission deadline to write a speech based off of the prompts.

Time is seven (7) minutes total, with a thirty (30) second grace period.
