Individual Event:
Self Effort (1-6):
Mission: Choose one of the three following activities to do, prepare and perform it. For whichever activity you choose, you MUST turn in what you plan to say TYPED before you present.
Show & Tell: Bring some object to talk about. It can be a piece of realia (an authentic object from the foreign culture), a picture, a model, an object you have made, a sandbox city, a game or even something creative not listed, but in this category. The entire presentation will be completely in Spanish. Start off by introducing yourself. Your presentation may be memorized but may NOT be read, nor are notes to be used. The presentation should last between 2-3 minutes. Be prepared to answer some simple questions about your object such as “¿Eso se encuentra en todos los países hispánicos?” Examples: Show a corn tortilla and tell how it is made and how it is the base of many Mexican dishes. Show how it can serve as a “bread,” a spoon, a napkin, etc. OR show a model or floor plan of a typical Spanish-type home and point out how it is arranged – the patio, the maid’s room, etc.
Humorous Story: The story idea may be taken from another source, but must be told in your own words and within your own range of language ability. The story is not to be read nor are notes to be used. The story should be between 2-3 minutes long. There will be no questions from the judges. Suggestions: textbooks and readers and replete with humorous stories that you can simplify and retell in your own words. “Selecciones del Reader’s Digest” is another good source. Some humorous stories commonly told in English can be adapted to Spanish.
Prepared Talk: Select one of the topics below and prepare a talk in Spanish. The talk is to last from 2.5-3 minutes. The talk is to be given by memory; it is not to be read, nor may notes be used. You should start off by introducing yourself and announcing the subject of the talk: “So Juan Monopatines y voy a hablar sobre la influencia de lo indígena en la vida mexicana.” At the end of the talk, you will be asked simple questions in Spanish, such as “En México, ¿Qué es un taco?” Topics: These are meant to be general. Wide latitude of variation will be allowed with each subject. You may give your talk any title. 1) Un libertador de Latinoamérica (Simón Bolivar, José de San Martín, etc.) 2) La influencia de lo indígena en la vida de México (o Guatemala, o Bolivia, etc.) 3) El valor de estudiar un idioma extranjero. 4) España: una democracia moderna. 5) ¿El cine o la televisión? 6) El terrorismo en el mundo de hoy. 7) El país subdesarrollado en Latinoamérica. 8) ¿Podría eso pasar aquí? (eso can refer to anything)
