Speech Meet 2020 - 2021
The E.J. Wright School will participate in our first Schoolwide Speech Meet. It is our mission to provide a platform for students to develop rhetoric skills from an early age. This opportunity makes use of classical educational pedagogy where students are challenged to develop the skills of memorization, public speaking, and social grace. We, and other area schools, hold classroom speech meets for grades 1-8. Students choose from an official list and memorize and perform their selection before judges. Students may choose from a variety of categories–Bible memory, poetry, dramatic interpretation, or patriotic recitation. Students will compete from each category in each grade at the Speech Meet.
2020-2021 TWS Speech Meet Selections by Grade
Categories and Materials are listed by grade level. Make 2 copies of the speech you select and put one copy in your student’s homework folder for their grade level advisor and keep one copy for you and your student by March 22nd. Be careful to only print the page number of your selection (otherwise you will end up printing the entire category by mistake!). Select one speech.
