POI RULES: We will follow NSDA rules for POI. Program Oral Interpretation Event Description: • POI is a program of oral interpretation of thematically-linked selections chosen from two or three genres: prose, poetry, drama (plays). • A primary focus of this event should be on the development of the theme or argument through the use of narrative, story, language, and/or characterization. • Competitors are encouraged to devote approximately equal times to each of the genres used in the program. At least two pieces of literature that represent at least two separate genres must be used. • The use of a manuscript is required. • Time Limit: 10 minutes max with a 30-second grace period. • Sources must meet all Association Interp rules for publication. Program Oral Interpretation Judging Criteria: • An introduction should set the stage, enhancing the interpretation of the literature to the audience, providing information and analysis to the chosen theme. • All selections must be verbally identified by title and author. However, where, when, and how these are accomplished are the speaker’s decisions. • The intact manuscript may be used by the contestant as a prop so long as it remains in the contestant’s control at all times. • No costumes or props other than the manuscript are permitted. • Adaptations may be used only for the purpose of transition. • This is a contest in oral interpretation. The contestant should be evaluated on poise, quality, and use of voice, inflection, pronunciation, and the ability to interpret characters consistently. • The contestant should also be evaluated on how effective their argument/theme is projected in the total program. • In developing a creative, thematic program, attention should be given to the design and organization of a cohesive and carefully conceived whole by linking authors and ideas inherent in the literature. • There is an expectation to use at least two pieces of literature each presenting a different genre with approximately equal times devoted to each genre. This distinction pertains to these three genres as a whole, not types of literature within a genre, such as fiction/nonfiction. • The contestant must address the script; however, introduction and transitional material may be memorized.
INFORMATIVE RULES - we will be following MSHSL rules for Informative Speaking: Informative Speaking is an event in which the student presents an original informative composition of which no more than 10% shall be direct quotation. Quality of thought, research, and composition, as well as delivery, should be considered by the Judges. All materials quoted, paraphrased, or summarized from other sources (including visuals) must be documented in the submitted script (within the text or in a Works Cited listing or both) and orally and/or visually during the presentation. The purpose of Informative Speaking is to present information that the audience may or may not possess and that the student believes important for the audience. The use of visual aids is optional. Visual aids may be two-dimensional and/or three-dimensional but may not violate law (weapons, drugs, for example). The use of animals or any additional people as visual aids is not allowed during the speech. Maximum set-up time is two (2) minutes. When set-up is completed or all of the set up time has been used, timing the speaking begins. Expedient take-down is expected. The host school is responsible for communicating any limitations to visual aids dictated by their school policies. The host school is not responsible for providing any facilities, equipment, or assistance in a contestant’s use of visual aid. On-the-spot audience surveys adapted to the speech as given, audience handouts, and active audience involvement are not permitted. The rule does not allow for any type of audience participation. The speech is to be a self-contained presentation—ten (10) minutes in length—presented and controlled by the student. The judging criteria will be the following: 1. Appropriate choice of subject and information for the audience. 2. Clear organization. 3. Direct and communicative delivery manner. 4. Predominantly serious informative purpose (which may include the use of humor). 5. Avoidance of predominantly persuasive subjects and techniques (Every Informative Speech contains some elements of persuasion). The use of a script is optional, provided it is not used as a prop.
