Impromptu

Event Description:

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:

* “You either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain.” — The Dark Knight

* Can doing the “right thing” still lead to the wrong outcome?

* “Not everyone who smiles at you supports you.”

* When is it more important to speak up than to stay loyal?
