Storytelling: Students use a single, readily accessible story, anecdote, tale, myth or legend that must be retold from text or memory without costumes or props. Students may use their own words to convey the story’s plot, however the performance must be true to the original content. Movement is allowed, and one chair may be used, or the speaker may choose to stand. Students should strive to bring the material to life using voice, facial expression, body, movement and gesture. The student is required to provide brief introductory remarks at some point, which must identify the title and author of the source text.
Time limit: 7 minutes with a 30 second grace period. Students who speak beyond the time limit plus the grace period may not be ranked 1st.
Judges should offer to provide visual time signals.
Note that the category was revised on 1/22/2017 to allow the use of optional text, for consistency with the other non-reading events.
