Prose: Season One, Episode One: "We're Joining the FBI!" (TV Episode Script)

"In short, Forensics is Speech and Debate. The title originates from Aristotle's 'The Rhetoric'. In this book, he divided all forms of rhetoric into three different categories: epideictic, deliberative, and forensics which referred to speech pertaining to legal speech, typically in the Ancient Greek court system. Therefore, this term was later applied to modern speech and debate. In Forensics, the team competes in various oral communication and public speaking competitions. What's especially great about it is that since there are so many different events you get to try out a lot of different skills like acting, writing, critical thinking, and persuasive speaking."-Mike Larson

Mike Larson, a young 25 year old teacher, just got this first job teaching ELA at William Henry Harrison High School in Bear Run, Pennsylvania. After discovering that the school doesn't have a debate team, he sets out to start a Forensics team of his own. However, Mike finds himself in over his head when some very unexpected students join the team: Lexi and Jax, two overachieving yet friendly theatre kids. Rocky, a sarcastic rocker chick who's never afraid to speak her mind. Chelsea, a friendly athlete trying to boost her college application. Memphis, Chelsea's basketball player boyfriend who's convinced he's the second coming of Lebraon James. Jordan, a lost kid trying to find his place in the world. And Rico, who severely lacks brains, but makes up for it in heart. Mike must find a way to pull these seven very different students together and turn them into Forensics champions.
