For the first time in SKV an Inter-class English Declamation Competition for classes VI & VII was held on 28th. January 2019 in MJS Hall. Auditions were held on 25th. January and out of 34 eager students, a total of 12 were chosen, comprising 3 participants from each section. The topics were based on popular proverbs, which the contestants received through “chit picking” before the competition itself. The judges for the competition were Ms. Nidhi Chaturvedi, Ms. Nabia Fatima and Ms. Shalini Agrawal. The participants were judged according to content, adherence to the topic, memorization and overall impact. Considering that this was their first attempt, the participants did very well as they presented their views with confidence, without reading from the paper. They used examples from daily life and various fables to prove their point. The competition provided the contestants with the golden opportunity to overcome stage fright, speak out loudly and clearly and show their ability to argue a point with examples – a good preparation to becoming impressive debaters. The results are awaited.
