Event Description:
-
Programmed Oral Interpretation
-
Purpose: Programmed Oral Interpretation is defined as a program of thematically-linked selections chosen from two or three genres: prose, poetry, drama (plays). At least two pieces of literature that represent at least two separate genres must be used. All selections must be verbally identified by title and author. Competitors are encouraged to devote approximately equal times to each of the genres used in the program. This distinction pertains to these two or three genres as a whole, not types of literature within a genre (such as fiction/nonfiction).
-
Topics: Selections should adhere to the Interpretation Publication Policy, the Source Verification Policy, the Artistic Plagiarism Policy detailed in this Constitution & Bylaws.
-
Adaptations to material may only be used for the purpose of transition. The gender stated by the author must be honored. However, a female contestant may play a male role, and a male contestant may play a female role.
-
During the presentation the contestant must name the author(s) and the book(s) or magazine(s) from which the cutting was made.
-
Length: The time limit is ten (10) minutes maximum with a thirty (30) second grace period. Should a student go beyond the grace period, the student may not be ranked 1st.

The use of manuscript during the performance is required. Common practices include the use of a binder or folder. Reading from a book or magazine is not permitted. The intact manuscript may be used by the contestant as a prop, so long as it remains in the contestant's control at all times. No costumes or props other than the manuscript are permitted. Pictures, graphics, and/or illustrations are considered a visual aid, even if included in the original manuscript, and may not be displayed. The contestant must address the script; however, introduction and transitional material may be memorized.
