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. |
