Forensics
COACH: MS. LAUREN HESS, '10 • MODERATOR: MS. DEANNA HESS
Forensics is a competitive speech and debate team that both teaches and enhances students' public speaking skills, while building students' confidence in a competitive environment. The students on the team choose a literary piece that fits into one of the Forensics categories and practice their piece(s) both at home and at after school practices before performing at the Forensics meets, which take place on Saturdays at local high schools. In Forensics, you do not compete as a team, but individually in your category.
FORENSICS CATEGORIES:
- Prose
- Poetry
- Original Oratory
- Dramatic Interpretation
- Humorous Interpretation
- Impromptu
- Declamation
