Public Speaking
While you may collect information from any reliable source, you must deliver your speech in your own words. In the live class, give your written speech to the adjudicator before you perform. In the virtual class, include a copy of your text in your entry. You may hold and refer to point-form notes as you deliver your speech (from a standing position) or use cue cards.
