Day Two of the Litt-Fest was another activity filled day. The dress theme was ‘Leafy Green’. Here’s an update:
1. Buzz On! The Spelling Bee Contest
It began with the Spelling Bee with the students immensely enjoying the play of words. The students were amused as seemingly obvious spellings became their stumbling blocks to winning. The audience watched with excitement as one favorite was eliminated after the another. Finally, Ms. Nida Qureshi from S.Y.B.A. emerged as the winner.
2. Well Versed: Poetry Reading Contest
Aimed at sensitizing students to the aesthetic magic of poetry, the poetry recitation contest had them listening in attention as the contestants waxed eloquent on the acclaimed rhymes. Contestants were judged on the selection of the poem, diction and pronunciation.
3. Prose Declamation
The theme for the declamation was Francis Bacon’s essays. Students selected passages from the works of one of the most acclaimed essayists of English language and read them out to the audience.
4. Words Up! Scrabble Marathon
A fun way to create word consciousness. Three Scrabble boards were laid out as contestants competed with each other in this highly acclaimed crossword game. Many were playing the game for the first time and yet thoroughly enjoyed it.
5. Movie Mania! Movie Show
The audience was given a choice of two movies – The Tom Hanks’ starrer ‘The Da Vinci Code’ and the Kurt Russell starrer ‘The Miracle’. The students unanimously chose Russell over Hanks and so the movie was screened.
