DR. MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR. SPEECH CONTEST
The school level contest will be held on October 18th. Mrs. Vanderlinden, our SEM Teacher, will arrange for judges who will view each student's memorized speech and complete a rubric.
Some things to remember:
- If your child would like to participate, he or she can sign up for a time in the office. All speeches will be judged in person on October 18.
- Students should self-select an excerpt from one of Dr. King's famous speeches.
- Students must memorize the excerpt and be ready to recite it with enthusiasm and emotion.
- Memorized excerpts should be 1-3 minutes long.
- Reading Elementary can have one representative at the district contest from each of these grade level bands: K-2, 3-4 and 5-6
- Speeches can be presented in English or in a student's first language
- The school level contact is Mrs. Vanderlinden.
- After the school level contest, selected representatives from Reading will be able to participate in the district level contest.
