Lincoln Douglas Topic Analysis 5 - 6:15pm
In this lecture, we will dive into the key portions of the resolution debaters should know, explain necessary and relevant background information, and explore the various arguments and frameworks on the topic, and how debaters could utilize those ideas.
Electives: Three Options 6:30 - 7:00pm
Attending students will have three elective options. The first is a "Preparing For Nationals: Mindset & Stamina" where students can learn about what it takes to compete for a weel straight at the NSDA national tournament. The second elective is "Judging: What To Expect", where debaters will gain a deeper understanding of the NSDA judging pool, types of judges to expect, how to read paradigms and deal with panels, and general strategies for judge adaptation. The final elective is a Blocking Arguments Module, where our staff will discuss stock arguments on the topic, and how to refute them.
Instructor Demo Round 7:00 - 8:00pm
In this final lecture, two of our experienced staff will engage in a demonstration round followed up by a Q&A and analysis from both instructors. The goal of our demo round is to show how arguments on the topic interact and to inspire students in their case/block writing.
