|
|
||
| WHEREAS, Will Hoenig of Lake Travis High School earned first | ||
| place in extemporaneous persuasive 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 persuasive | ||
| speaking contest seeks to train students to analyze a current | ||
| issue, determine a point of view, and then organize and deliver a | ||
| speech that persuades listeners to agree with that point of view; | ||
| 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, Will Hoenig distinguished himself as one of | ||
| the state's top students in extemporaneous persuasive 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 Will Hoenig on | ||
| earning first place in extemporaneous persuasive 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. Hoenig as an expression of high regard by the Texas | ||
| House of Representatives. | ||
