From memory, the student will state the name of the poem and its author, then recite the poem designated for their level. 2. __Extemporaneous Prose Reading (individual)__ The student will read a short prose selection extemporaneously. They will have 5 minutes to practice reading the selection in an assigned preparation room. Students cannot consult anyone or anything during the preparation time. Students may mark their practice copies, but must be given "clean" copies for presentation before the judges. __3. Extemporaneous Conversation (2 students)__ Student groups randomly draw 2 conversation situations and then choose one to present. Conversation situations are based on a variety of topics commonly studied [home life, school, eating out, shopping, etc.] The state coordinator supplies conversation situations. A sample is found at the end of this section. Students prepare their conversations in a practice room separate from the presentation room. Students cannot consult anyone or anything during their preparation time. Students cannot use their own notes during their delivery before the judges, but, they may use the English copy of their situation to help guide them through the conversation. Students must carry on their conversation for the amount of time required for their level. A timekeeper, using time cards, will indicate how much time is left during the delivery. 4. __Théâtre de Chambre (2-6 students)__ A student group consisting of two to six members acts out a scene or cutting of French literature (prose, poetry, drama). Each group: Chooses its own scene or cutting. Memorizes all the lines of the scene and the introduction. Prepares and presents an introduction in French, including the name of the scene, the author's name, the characters' names and any transitions. Blocks the scene properly so the actors' movements are like that of a fully produced play. Costumes, make-up and props ARE PERMITTED but not required. 5. __Readerʼs Theatre (2-6 students)__ Please note that Readerʼs Theatre is not the same thing as Théâtre de Chambre with a script in hand. A student group consisting of two to six members presents a cutting from French literature (prose, poetry, drama). Each group must convey meaning and emotions through their voices. The group is performing a radio show. They are not meant to be seen. Each group : Chooses its own scene or cutting and assigns parts. Prepares and presents an introduction in French, including the name of the scene, the author's name, the characters' names and any transitions. Costumes and decor are not necessary because the judges will not be looking at the group. Only props to help with sound effects are allowed. A clean copy of the script or cutting must be emailed as an attachment to the appropriate coordinator (regional first, then, a second copy to state if proceeding to state level) at least two weeks before the competition date. Groups who do not submit clean scripts on time will be disqualified.
