This is NOT Forensics Science like from CSI or Detective Show. This FORENSICS is the KSHSAA recognized sport of competitive Speech, Acting, and Improvisation. This Spring ONLY extracurricular activity helps students hone abilities in performing, public speaking, and communication. Students are required to work in and outside of the class, attend at least FOUR tournaments and COMPETE in TWO of the following events: Original Oration, Extemporaneous Speaking, Informative Speaking Poetry Interpretation, Prose Interpretation, Humorous Solo Acting, Serious Solo Acting, Duo Interpretation. Forensic competitions often occur on Saturdays, so weekend participation is required in this course.
