Natquals Speech Script Requirements
Below is what we need to submit prior to the tournament. I need everything sent to me by Friday, 3/13 in order to review and get submitted in Tabroom by the tournament deadlines.
Oratory & Informative
Please submit Oratory and Informative speech titles on Tabroom.
Additionally, students who compete in Oratory and Informative MUST upload a copy of their speech(es) plus works cited page to the www.turnitin.com website by Thursday, March 19th. If your students have never used Turnitin.com, please click this link for complete instructions.
To upload an ORATORY or INFORMATIVE: Use the Class ID: 51646338 and the Enrollment key: speeches (The Enrollment keys are in all lowercase and have no spaces).
Since the speeches will have been submitted to turnitin.com, you only NEED TO SUBMIT the Statement of Authenticity at registration:
“This original oratory (or informative speech) is the original work of the _______________ (student’s name) from ___________________ (student’s school). This oratory (or informative speech) contains _____ (number) of directly quoted words.” Student Signature: ____________________ Coach Signature:_________________________
Interp: DI, HI, POI, & DUO
Please enter all of your interp information on Tabroom.
To ensure that your pieces meet NSDA National qualification standards, you must submit 2 copies of your interp scripts. See the instructions below.
Create a Google Folder by Thursday, March 13th. Label the folder “Interp plus school name” ie. (Interp-Mesa HS) & share it with Kevin Berlat (kjberlat@gmail.com)
Upload all your interp scripts to this one folder by Thursday, March 19th.
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.
