Chapter 3: Debate
FYI:
While many of your letters were artfully conveyed and convincing, I am concerned with the level of knowledge on how the current immigration laws in the US work. Please take a look at this fact sheet on the legal process for immigrating to the US before your debate.
**NOTE: Not ALL immigrants are in the US illegally. Approximately 1 million people come to the US with legal permission each year. **

Group debate project
(Final Assessment for the semester)
Debate Project Steps
- write down and understand your assigned resolution and position (NEG or AFF)
- develop 3 claims for your position: write these on the front of your DRO (Debate Research Organizer)
- develop 3 claims the opposition should use against you: write these on the back of your DRO
- Research evidence to support your position's 3 claims and cite the course on the front of your DRO
- explain how your evidence connects to and strengthens your claim in the DRO reasoning section
- repeat steps 4 and 5 for oppositional claims (back of DRO)
- repeat steps 4-6 until you have several pieces of evidence for all claims
- DSO-find your speech in the Debate Speech Organizer. Use the organizer to prepare your speech using the claims, edividence, and reasoning compiled on your DRO

Above and Beyond
Are you done with your speech? Do you want to add an extra element to make your presentation even better? Look at the following articles for some great advice on how to convince your judge that YOU are PERSUASIVE and INFORMED.
Debate Examples
Although debate falls under the rhetorical category of "argumentation" the day of presentation looks nothing like the arguments we are used to seeing in movies and on tv, if not in real life (no screaming, kicking, crying or raising of voices).
See the video on the right to see how the class will be set up on the day of the debate and hear what championship debaters actually sound like.
See the video on the right to experience approximately what I expect your debate to sound like the day of presentations.
Keep in mind our debate will be MUCH shorter than these examples because of time constraints. Remember each speech will be 2 minutes long with a 90 second break between each speech for prep and partner collaboration.
