H.R. No. 69
R E S O L U T I O N
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.
