Forensics


 

Objective

Open to students in 6th - 8th grade, forensics builds self-confidence and oral competency by developing and practicing fundamental public speaking skills in a fun, creative way!

Overview

With the help of their coach, team members prepare an oral presentation from one of seventeen different categories including Prose, Poetry, Storytelling, NewsReporting, Solo Acting and Group Acting, and Demonstration. These selections are then performed at scheduled tournaments and festivals where students are evaluated according to individual category standards.

We compete in about 4-5 meets a season. Students/Groups earn an individual score. With a qualifying seasonal score you can even attend a state competition! Students/Groups with the highest overall scores can earn medals and/or trophies. Schools whose team has the highest overall score also can earn a trophy. 

Volunteers Needed:

We need parents to be judges at the meets.  For every five entries we have we need to provide a judge.  There is a cost for every judge we are not able to provide.  Please consider this opportunity.  Training will be provided for anyone interested in being a judge.  Please contact one of the Activity Leaders if you are interested or have any other questions.
