Students should strive to bring the material to life in a natural and realistic way using voice, facial expressions, body and gestures. Students are required to read the text from a binder and to provide brief introductory remarks at some point, which must identify the title and author of the work.

Time limit: 7 minutes with a 30 second grace period. Students who speak beyond the time limit plus the grace period may not be ranked 1st. Judges should offer to provide visual time signals.
