Final Round Watch Parties with Finalists
NSDA coach Renea L. Moss of Miramar High School invites you and your students to join her weekly virtual NSDA Final Round Watch Parties beginning today with DI at 11:00 a.m., 3:00 p.m., and 7:00 p.m. ET. Performers from each of the three featured DIs will join at least one of the parties to talk with students. This is a creative way for students to learn from past finalists and from other students across the country. Worksheets for classes are also available. Watch parties continue tomorrow, April 1 with Original Oratory using the same schedule.
Can't make this week's watch parties? Classes can use a tool from NSDA coach Leeann Solice any time! In this activity, students watch final round performances, adjudicate, and provide feedback or analysis for each performer. You can make a copy of this activity for a single performance or with ranks and feedback for a round of up to eight competitors.
