Extempore is the art of public speaking that is carried out without preparation or forethought. It puts to test one’s ability to think on the spot and also their spontaneity. Extempore is one such method which assists the students, not only in thinking on their own, but also in voicing their creative ideas with precision. Students of Mauryan High picked up chits with topics to speak on. The topics in the competition included current issues, spoken English, Science, Social studies and Computers. Class teachers were in charge of their respective classes. The judgement was based on the content: relevance to the topic, confidence, clarity of speech, time management etc. This activity intended to give an opportunity to build their self-confidence.
