Fayette students again racked up recognition at the Clemson University Poetry Declamation Contest. Students from four high schools placed in the competition, including 17 first place awards.
Clemson University’s Department of Foreign Languages poetry declamation contest gives students the opportunity to perform poetry in their language of study and receive feedback from leading language educators. Participants perform two poems from memory, specified according to students’ level of language study. They are evaluated based on pronunciation, interpretation of text, smoothness of delivery, and textural accuracy.
