The following two (2) PSIA Events are available for 1st Graders:
1. Creative Writing (Grades 1-2):
Contestants are given a writing prompt page with five captioned pictures. The students select from the captioned images and create an original story based on their selections.

2. Storytelling (Grades 1-3):
Contestants hear a short story of about two-to-three 8.5 x 11 pages in length. Contestants then retell the story before a required audience and an odd number of judges (one or three) within about 6 minutes. The object is for students to demonstrate their ability to speak before an audience, organize detail, and creatively re-tell the story that they have just heard. The judges have not heard the original story.

Contestants will be chosen based on the RCS Speech Meet.
