2009-2010 State Speech Rule Changes
|
The following Spring Advisory Recommendations were passed by the MSHSL Board of Directors at their October Meeting.
EXTEMPORANEOUS SPEAKING
Old Language:
During the thirty (30) minutes of preparation of the speech, the contestant shall have access to magazines and other materials.
New Language:
During the thirty (30) minutes of preparation of the speech, students may consult published books, magazines, newspapers and journals and Internet articles downloaded from established news sources, provided: A. They are originals or photocopies of whole pages. B. Provided those originals or photocopies are uncut. C. There is no written material on that original or copy other than highlighting and citation information (such as publication title and date). D. Topical index may be present. No other material shall be allowed in the extemp prep room other than stated above. Extemporaneous speeches, handbooks, briefs and outlines shall be barred from the extemp prep room. Outlines and notes created in the prep room during preparation time at the tournament are allowed.
GREAT SPEECHES
Old Language:
For purposes of documentation, the speech must have been published. Recorded speeches may be used only if they have also been published in print. Published means the source has an ISBN verification of original print publication.
New Language:
For purposes of documentation, the student is required to provide a citation indicating the source of the selected speech within the written and oral text of the student’s speech. The selected speech must have been published with an ISBN or ISSN or an online resource. Recorded speeches may be used only if they have also been published in print or online. An ISBN/ISSN or the citation of the online resource should be provided at sub-section, section, and state contests. (An ISSN covers periodical and serials.) If the speech is selected from an online source, student and coach are strongly encouraged to check the reliability of the online source.
These two changes are in effect for the 2009-2010 MSHSL Speech season.
