Where do students find materials to use for the dramatic and interpretive events?
A Students are responsible for finding their own pieces. Books of monologues, plays, excerpts from classic literature, etc., are available on the DDF cart in the HHS library for perusal and copying by students. Pieces are typically edited or cut and pasted by students in order to satisfy the time requirements for the event. Students also find pieces from independent sources, such as their own reading materials or by searching the Internet under monologues. We subscribe to an on-line service where the students can access stored materials in a commercial database. Except for the original oration and expository speaking events (in which the pieces are prepared by the students), the dramatic and interpretive pieces must be from a published source.
