Prose Interpretation

Event Description:

Using a selection or selections of literature, students provide an oral interpretation of prose. Prose typically has a narrative with its related rises and falls, may feature character development and dialogue, and may have humorous elements embedded. In short, while many categories have specific interpretation focal points, Prose Interpretation is very wide open. The selection should be literature, either as a single piece, a cutting, or a series of short pieces united by theme or author. Literature includes ALL forms of prose, fiction or non-fiction, except plays and oratorical compositions.

This event is seven (7) minutes with a thirty (30) second grace period. Students are required to include an introduction.

In Prose a manuscript is required, so students should read their script from a binder of in hand, but expression, articulation, and interpretation should be evident. We are looking for presentation of ideas, themes, and meaning interpretation shown through body language, facial expressions, voice, and body language.

Judges should leave and save comments for each individual separately and then comments to team as a whole. Please make sure to leave something. You should enter your decision first and then you can update or put in comments later if needed or type as you go.
