|
|
||
| WHEREAS, Neal White of Lake Travis High School earned first | ||
| place in extemporaneous informative speaking at the 2011 University | ||
| Interscholastic League Conference 4A State Academics Spring Meet; | ||
| and | ||
| WHEREAS, The most comprehensive literary and academic | ||
| competition in the nation, this annual event includes a variety of | ||
| contests that complement the academic curriculum and also motivate | ||
| students to acquire higher levels of knowledge, confront issues of | ||
| importance, and think critically; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Specifically, the extemporaneous informative | ||
| speaking contest seeks to stimulate an active interest in current | ||
| affairs at the state, national, and international levels and to | ||
| teach participants to present facts about a subject in a clear, | ||
| impartial, and interesting manner; students prepare for the contest | ||
| by reading newspapers and news magazines, as well as by searching | ||
| the Internet and listening to radio and television news programs, | ||
| and they are judged on their analysis and content, organization, | ||
| and delivery; and | ||
| WHEREAS, With the guidance and encouragement of LTHS speech | ||
| teacher Barbara Ixba, Mr. White distinguished himself as one of the | ||
| state's top students in extemporaneous informative speaking, and he | ||
| may indeed take great pride in his achievement; now, therefore, be | ||
| it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 82nd Texas | ||
| Legislature, 1st Called Session, hereby congratulate Neal White on | ||
| earning first place in extemporaneous informative speaking at the | ||
| 2011 UIL Conference 4A State Academics Spring Meet and extend to him | ||
| sincere best wishes for continued success; and, be it further | ||
| RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be | ||
| prepared for Mr. White as an expression of high regard by the Texas | ||
| House of Representatives. | ||
