SUMMARY:Bold and Brilliant: Speech competition
DESCRIPTION:\n\nThis is the culmination of a dynamic public speaking 
 program designed to help students build confidence and master essential

 enunciation to deliver powerful\, engaging speeches. \n\n\n	Speeches will 
 be primarily memorized\, though students may use flashcards if they prefer.

 structure will follow formats used by the National Speech and Debate 
 Association\, especially regarding timing and style.\n\n\nChoose one of the 
 follow prompts:\n\n\n	Why Does Kindness Matter More than Ever

 styles and tournaments. She will be joined by 2 of her fellow teammates to
