We’ve crafted a strong script packed with great content, and now it’s time to level up and make our presentation even more stand-out! We’re pushing ourselves to go from good to great, using these powerful guidelines to polish every word and make our delivery shine:

Checklist for Reviewing Script

1. Key Message:

   • Question: If you can only say one sentence to the judges, what would it be?

   • Action: Make sure this key message is highlighted and consider adding it early in the script.

2. Crisp and Clear Paragraphs:

   • Question: What do you want to tell the judges in each paragraph? Is the message clear and crisp?

   • Action: Confirm that each paragraph starts with a topic sentence covering what you are saying in this paragraph.

3. Logical Flow:

   • Question: Does the script follow a logical order? For instance, if you mention “first,” is there a “second” or a “next” to follow?

   • Action: Check that the sequence of ideas is logical and transitions smoothly.

4. Core Values:

   • Question: Have you incorporated the team’s core values into the script?

   • Action: Make sure there are references to core values throughout, since they won’t have a separate opportunity to present this.

5. Organization & Relevance:

   • Question: Is the content well-organized, grouping similar topics together? 

   • Action: Ensure the script is focused and cohesive. Adjust as needed to eliminate unnecessary or repetitive content.

6. Relevance & Cutting:

   • Question: Is every sentence relevant to the main message? Ask yourself, do the judges need to know this.

   • Action: Eliminate unnecessary or repetitive content.
