Monday/Tuesday Directions for Debate

Please write the objective on your calendar: Students will evaluate past performances, and students will prepare for their next debate.

Debate students should watch any videos and complete all reflections that are unfinished on their portfolios.  (I receive statistics on each video; so watch them all the way through, because I will know if you do not.) For every video of yours, there should be a reflection.  So those of you who have debated in class could have up to five reflections: introductory speech, constructive speech, CX asking questions, CX answering questions, and rebuttal speech.  

  • One reflection consists of 3-4 sentences about your performance.  You should evaluate your content, delivery, and any aspect you are judged on according to the ballots.  Both constructive and positive comments are encouraged.

After they have accomplished this, they should begin working on their Heritage tournament piece(s) or their next in class debate.
