Debate Guidelines
Debate Guidelines
DO
-Dress up for
your debate. You gain credibility when you look the part.
-Affirmative
should begin by strongly stating the resolution in this form: “RESOLVED:
American students ought to attend college.”
-If you finish
early, you may say “I yield my time”
-A visual aid is
allowed WITHOUT photographs or images. You may have up to 3 powerpoint slides
if you choose, but they are each limited to black and white text, and a total
of 150 words per slide. You will need to
refer to them by number and have projection arranged prior to the start of the
debate.
-You must ALWAYS
cite your sources. If you use more than three words together as written by
someone else, you must attribute the source. To fail to do so is plagiarism and
will result in losing the debate.
-Speak clearly,
loudly, and with confidence, these will each assist your argument.
-Maintain
eye-contact and good posture.
-Use
cross-examination to expose factual errors or unsupported assertions.
-Face the
audience, your work is for their hearing.

Homework tonight
NO HISTORY HW
ENGLISH:
1) work on your debate blocking, you need at MINIMUM 8 argument cards, with at least 10 sources (procon can only count as 1, you need at least 14 other articles, books, etc)
2) read through the debate procedures (below)
3) begin preparations for your closing argument
Debate Procedures
Each debater is responsible for the following:
Total time for each debate will be approximately 45 minutes.
1. For each topic, there will be a five-minute unbiased introduction. This neutral introduction will be assigned to someone other than the two teams in a particular debate.
2. Following the unbiased introduction, there will be a seven-minute statement by the first team outlining their plan to implement the given topic. Only during this seven minute presentations are teams allowed to use Powerpoint slides. The PPT slides can contain only text (no images) and only two colors (white background and black text).
3. This will be followed by a three-minute cross-examination by the second team. This is an opportunity for the second team to clarify points made by the first team. This time is only for clarification, not for the actual debate.
4. The Second team then gives their seven-minute statement. Ideally, they will anticipate some of what the first team has to say and will have enough data researched to be able to show the flaws and problems with the first team's arguments. The second team usually does not present an alternative plan, as the status quo is often the alternative.
5. The first team will then have an opportunity for a three-minute cross examination of the second team's argument. This time is also only for clarification.
6. Two-minute second team rebuttal
7. Two-minute first team rebuttal
8. Two-minute second team concluding argument
9. Two-minute first team concluding argument
10. Questions from the judges and the audience (10 minutes)
A panel of judges will evaluate each team’s argument independently and choose a winner. A draft summary of each team's position (600 words maximum), restrained to only 15 of their references, must be submitted to the judges. The audience will also vote by secret ballot, and their popular vote will count as one judge vote. (Ballot sample below). Students will also get a personal rubric evaluation from Mrs. Martin.
