Speech: PROGRAM ORAL INTERP (POI)
Using selections from Prose, Poetry and Drama students create a 10-minute performance around a central theme. Program Oral Interpretation is designed to test a student’s ability to intersplice multiple types of literature into a single, cohesive performance. A manuscript is required (a black mini-binder) and may be used as a prop if the performer maintains control of the manuscript at all times. Performances can include an introduction written by the student to contextualize the performance and state the title and the author of each selection.10 min.; 30sec grace
