League Policies

1. A script that is prepared by a sibling and then delivered in a subsequent season does not conform to the expectation for any speech.  In an interpretative speech, the expectation is that the cutting of the literature selection(s) and the crafting of the introduction/conclusion/narrative sections should be completed by the speaker of that speech in that current season.  In addition, the blocking and characterization should also be original and developed primarily by the speaker. 

   Coaching Tip: Younger siblings or newer competitors who may need more help in the preparation of a speech may choose to use a book that does not require significant cutting.  Also, lots of help from others is encouraged!
