FORENSICS MEETS 2012 |
Moments in History |
Forensics, often known as speech, is a competitive public speaking activity. In Wisconsin, that includes 20 individual categories of competition each with a different purpose and rules. These categories are usually divided into three groups: speech, interpretation, and limited preparation.
Students attend Saturday tournaments that are sanctioned by the WFCA from January through March. At each tournament, students will compete in three preliminary rounds, presenting their piece or performance to a judge and peers. The judge ranks the students in the round, and after three rounds, the students with the top cumulative scores advance to a final round, where after a champion is crowned.
