Event Description:
Extemporaneous Speaking a public speaking event in which a contestant draws three slips of paper out of an envelope. On these slips are questions on current events, and the contestant must choose the question he/she is most comfortable speaking about. The questions asked of the contestant will deal with current events in either Domestic or Foreign issues. After reading the options, the contestant chooses one topic, and then has half and hour to write and memorize a speech (5-7 minutes). This speech is then delivered in front of a judge who judges the speech based on content, analysis of the question, and delivery. In VaFL, a 3x5 notecard may be used. General category topics will be provided 30 days before each meet.
