Product Description

Forensics, more commonly known as speech and debate, is one of the most rewarding and beneficial educational activities available to students. This textbook is designed to introduce students to individual forensic events, giving suggestions and guidelines for their preparation. The text describes each event and the experience of competing. Students are shown how to select and perform winning materials, and how to achieve success. Chapters describe the structure and strategies or original oratory, extemporaneous speaking, humorous, dramatic, poetic, and duet interpretation, as well as prose interpretation, impromptu and expository speaking required by many national forensics contests. Also includes a chapter on competitive mock legislatures. For speech and debate contests, this book can help anyone become a winner!

5.0 out of 5 stars A wonderful insight in speech competitions, January 18, 2000
By "karen_j" (The middle of nowhere) - See all my reviews
This book provides all the basics to winning forensics competitions. It provides information on nearly every event, excluding CX and LD debate. I found it to be very helpful for constructing winning oratories and extemp speeches. This is a great beginning to winning your events, although most of the winning part is still up to you.

4.0 out of 5 stars An important book for high school forensics competitors., August 13, 1996
By A Customer
While perhaps not an essential book for the general reader, this book is an important resource for the many high school forensics competitors. It includes general information about how to present yourself, as well as specific chapters on each event. There are chapters on debate, student congress, oral interpretation, and public address. Unfortunately, no amount of reading about being a good speaker can make you one, but this book provides a helpful beginning

5.0 out of 5 stars Wow. I mean, wow, December 18, 2001
I just think that this book is an excellent scource for any young debater, interper, orator, extemper, or any other typ of speech you could possibly imagine. I myself have competed and succeeded in many tournaments, and I can honestly say that reading this book has been one of the reasons!
