Prepared Public Speaking
"During the Prepared Public Speaking Leadership Development Event, students write and deliver a six to eight-minute speech about a current agriculture-related topic.
Students research a topic of interest and then put together a creative, informative speech. The speech is then presented to a panel of judges, who score the student based on the speech’s content, composition and delivery." |
Extemporaneous Public Speaking
Students participating in the Extemporaneous Public Speaking showcase their agricultural knowledge and ability to think on their feet by giving a speech and answering questions with limited prep time. During this event, participants draw from 18 agricultural topics then select three of interest. From those three, a student selects the topic of their speech and has 30 minutes to prepare using five resources. Participants then present a four to six-minute speech on their topic to a panel of judges. After their speech, students answer five minutes worth of questions on the topic they just presented. This event challenges students to practice their presentation skills, articulation, and logical thinking and advocate for agriculture and agricultural education.
