I'm interested in an Interpretation event, but how do I find a piece?
You can use any published literary work; try the school library on the third
floor of Bertram Hall, your local public library, or looked through the scripts
that past interpreters have used at Saint Louis Schools..
I'm interested in Impromptu Speaking, but how do I prepare?
You don't really prepare for specific impromptu speeches but you can
practice speaking about random topics which might come up in an impromptu round.
Who maintains our Extemporaneous Speaking files?
The extemporaneous speaking box is currently maintained by Coach Bobby
Tokunaga and any extempers during the season. It must be a collaborative effort
in order for every extemper to know what is going into the box.
Do I really get extra-credit for AP U.S. Government, AP U.S. History, or
U.S. Government if I join the Speech and Debate team?
No. This policy has been suspended.
