Kids talking to walls, muttering to themselves, talking in multiple voices, what does all of this have to do with what I am talking about... Speech session. Speech session has finally started in Chadron High School.
Practices began November 28th, and the first competition is January 21st, said speech coach Rebecca Dubbs.
Speech is a fun activity where students get to create and perform speeches, scripts, and stories, and you get to rehearse the same speech throughout the season, said Dubbs.
There are many different types of speeches: persuasive, informative, extemporaneous, humorous & serious prose, entertainment, poetry, duet, and oral interpreation of drama.
Speech meets are held with 3 rounds with 2 flights each. Students present their speech two times for different judges. If placed first or second in their round and flight, they will present one more time in a final round.
Meets are on Saturdays but districts and state take place during the week. Meets begin at 8:30 and don't get home till around 9 or 10 PM.
