Prepared Speaking Information

Original Oratory and Interpretation Documentation

It is not necessary to upload any documentation this year, but if there is a protest, schools are expected to produce a flat copy of the speech/piece in question to the Ombudsperson in a timely manner. Schools are still expected to upload Title, Author and ISBN information for all registered interpretation pieces and Title information for OO & INFO by March 4th at 5:00 pm.

Oratory/Informative – In the event of a protest, original oratories and informative speeches must have a works cited (MLA Format) page. Each student is allowed to have no more than 150 quoted words in their original oratory/informative speech, and all quoted words must be UNDERLINED or HIGHLIGHTED on the flat copy of the original oratory/info.
