The seventh grade has begun preparing for the upcoming forensics festival at Wisco on Nov. 8. You can help your child find appropriate material at your public library, or on the web. The newspaper columnist, Dave Barry, has some good material. He has a number of published books that have suitable humorous pieces. All choices should be checked for appropriate content. We also have a good deal of material here at school for your child to choose from. Your child received a booklet on Tuesday with all of the categories and their descriptions. The following is a break down of your child's forensic schedule:
Friday, August 29- Category chose
Weds., Sept.3- Piece chosen for presentation (must be timed to ensure that it is long enough, or not too short)
Sept. 10,11,&12- Piece ready for presentation in class (must be memorized if category requires)
Sept. 12- Students chosen to go on to next level of competition
Sept. 15- Oct. 8 Students present to forensics coaches
Oct. – In school competition (final forensics team is chosen)
Oct. 13-Nov.7 Forensics team receives final coaching
Nov. 8 Forensics Festival at Wisco
Thank you for your assistance in this matter!Peggy Prekop
