Interp: DI, HI, POI, & DUO
Upload all your interp scripts to our Google Folder by Thursday, March 19th.
To ensure that your pieces meet NSDA National qualification standards, you must submit 2 copies of your interp scripts. See the instructions below.
FIRST COPY OF SCRIPT: You MUST scan and upload to the folder a photocopy of the original interp selection (not a typed copy) with the cutting highlighted. If using a digital source, you create a PDF version of your manuscript either via a direct download or by printing out the necessary pages and then scanning them in to create it.
All added words for transition purposes MUST be noted on the script in the margin where they occur.
Make sure to include a copy of the title page, the copyright page with ISBN highlighted, and the table of contents if there is one.
If the selection comes from a novel or a longer literary work, only copy the pages that contain lines used in the students' cutting.
Also, make sure to put the student's name, event, and school on the front page. For POI include a complete Works Cited page of every literary selection used in the program.
SECOND COPY OF SCRIPT: You MUST also scan a typed copy of the performance script that has the page numbers (where the line came from in the original script) indicated in the margin if the lines or portions of a line are not in the same order in the script. Make sure the student’s name and school name is on the script.
