The goal of achieving a basic literacy level in today’s youth is a common one, but justified as well. All too often, words are replaced with emoticons, and creative insults with dirty looks. Fortunately for the students at Hopkinton High School, Susan McClellan has orchestrated a magnificent program to help students learn the joy of public speaking and eloquence in conversation.
This program is called Forensics club. During this time, students practice the art of public speaking in various forms. Some of these include debate, speech giving, and interpretation of works. If students truly demonstrate intelligence in speech and creative discourse, they may be asked to attend a district tournament, and after that the National Forensics League’s National Speech and Debate Tournament.
Hopefully with all the talented youth at our disposal here at Hopkinton we can go a long way this year.
