Event Description:

Rules from the National Speech & Debate Association (NSDA) for Impromptu Speaking:

Impromptu (IMP) is a public speaking event in which students have 7 minutes to select a topic, brainstorm ideas, outline, and deliver a speech. The speech is given without notes and uses an introduction, body, and conclusion. The speech can be lighthearted or serious. It should be based on the following four options provided:

  • * What is the best way to show appreciation without words?
  • * What can we learn from the fall season?
  • * What is the importance of traditions?
  • * How do you overcome loneliness in a season of community?
