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

Impromptu (IMP) is a public speaking event where students have 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 lighthearted or serious. It should be based on the following four options provided:

* Why is it important to respect different holiday traditions?

* Which historical figure inspires you and why?

* What does resilience look like in winter?

* Should phones be banned at concerts?
