Rotary Youth Speaks – Public Speaking Competition on 19th November 2009
The competition is open to teams of three people representing their school in an Intermediate and Upper category. Each team chooses their own subject on which to speak. The team consists of a Chairperson, who has two minutes to welcome the audience and to introduce the Speaker and his or her subject matter. The Speaker is then allowed six minutes on their chosen subject, after which they should be prepared to answer one question from a Questioner. After this the Chairperson should introduce the third member of the team who proposes a Vote of Thanks, can sum up and respond to the question for two minutes.
The winning teams will progress to a District Final due to be in February 2010, and thereafter to Regional and National Finals.
The two age groups mentioned are: Intermediate for pupils under the age of 14 on 31st August 2009, and Upper for those students 14 and over, but under 18 on the same date.
