| Air Cadet League of Canada Effective Speaking Competition For Royal Canadian Air Cadets | |
To: Provincial Committee Chairpersons From:National Coordinator - Gladys Jarvie Once again, the following methods of recognizing proficiency/participation shall remain: |
 |
| 1. All National Finalists will receive a Timex watch with the League crest embossed on the face. 2. One set of gold, silver and bronze medals will be supplied to each Provincial Committee for presentation to the three top cadets at the provincial level. 3. Participation certificates will be prepared by League Headquarters for sale to Squadrons for presentation to all cadets who enter the competition. The following will be the topics for the 2009 Effective Speaking Competition based on suggestions from this year's competitors. 1. How has (is) Technology Influenced (Influencing) My Life 2. Environmental Stewardship in My Community (or Region or Province) 3. 2009 the International Year of Astronomy 4. A Canadian I Consider to be a Hero 5. Canada's Contribution to Aerospace 6. 100 Years of Powered Flight in Canada 7. A Successful Canadian Who Was An Air Cadet 8. My Favourite Aircraft It has come to our attention that an important rule in the contest is not being followed at all levels of the competition in some provinces. This rule is the one that specifies that three judges must be used. Accurate evaluations may not occur if lesser or greater numbers of judges are used. We have also been advised that in some instances, cadets have had their prepared and impromptu speeches evaluated by different groups of judges. A more realistic evaluation of a cadet's speaking abilities will be achieved if the same judges evaluate both speeches. The written comments received by the cadet can then more accurately reflect the strengths and weaknesses in both speeches. Please be advised that the organizing committee will be responsible for hosting arrangements for the participants from across Canada from Wednesday / Thursday to Sunday mornings (June 2009) and also to supply three bilingual judges for the National Competition. We wish you all the best of luck with your competitions. We would encourage each of you to ensure that all the Squadrons in your Province participate. Sincerely,Gladys Jarvie National Chairperson Effective Speaking Competition |
