  5. Question Box • Each day you will be expected to come up with questions during morning lectures and bring them to your afternoon lab. • We will pool the questions in the box anonymously and address some of them right at the start. • Trust that we will try our best to answer all your questions, even if we do it later in the week.

  6. Argument Recap • A.R.E. • Argument • “My first argument is…” • “My second argument is…” • Reason • “I believe this because…” • “The reason for this is…” • Evidence • “My evidence is from…” • “This is supported by…”

  9. Interlab Competition Time 3:30pm – Go Outside

  10. Flowing • Knowing what arguments the other team made and answering them is crucial to being a good debater. • In order to do this, you MUST flow. (“Flow or Die” in debate). • I will model, then we will practice: • Lyrics of a Song • Cards

  11. The Claim Game The Claim Game Rules You can call out anyone in lab who you think has made an unwarranted claim: i.e. they say something and do not have a because statement or any evidence. The lab leader will judge whether they get a point. The person with the fewest points on Sunday wins the LAMDL Claim Game Prize. • One of the easiest ways to win in debate (and in arguments generally) is to point out when someone is B***S****ing. • Throughout camp we will be playing the claim game in lab. • Everyone starts out with “0” points and points are bad. You do not want points. • Each time you make an ARGUMENT (or CLAIM) you have to have a REASON (say WHY) and cite some EVIDENCE.

  12. Speaking Drill Introduction to the 1AC

  13. Speaking Drill • Place your pen sideways in your mouth • Read one evidence card as fast and as clear as you can. • Have your partner flow you. • Give feedback on how clear you were

  30. The 1NC • 1NC – Case Argument • Some part of the Aff. case is wrong; • There is no problem or the problem will fix itself; • Can also argue that aff. Case makes problem worse. ________________________________________ • Topicality • The Aff. plan is not the sort of action required by the resolution. • Disadvantages • The Aff. plan cases bad things to happen (these bad effects outweigh the good effects). • Counterplans • A different proposal for how to solve the problem; must show why the Aff. case is a bad idea. • Critiques • Argue that the Aff. should be rejected because it uses bad ideas, research, or because the logic is no good. • 1Nc – Case argument • The Alliance will survive without pulling out troops (Green ‘10; Chanlett ‘10; Twining ‘10; Glosserman ‘10; McCormack ‘10; Auslin ’10; Twining ‘10; Green ‘10). • Japan will not rearm (Lawless ‘10; CSIS ‘10; Kulacki ‘10; etc.) • Alliance split will cause instability (Madsen ‘10; CSIS ‘10; Bandow ‘10; etc.). • Nuclear weapons will deter war in Asia (Garvin ’10; Garvin ‘10, etc.). • Answer to 1AC Advantages • Banning expansion would solve Dungong (Center for BioDiversity ’10, etc.). • Disadvantages: • Alliance Turn (DA) • Asian War Disadvantage (DA) • Civil-Military Relations Disadvantage (DA) • Primacy Disadvantage (DA)

  32. The 1NR (Just FYI) • Extending other 1NC arguments. • Kind of an extension of the 2NC; second speech in the negative block; must extend different but complementary arguments from the 2NC; not allowed to make new arguments. • Pick and choose. • No requirement to extend all the arguments of the 1NC; Aff. Can extend arguments from the 2Ac that are not answered so be sure and block them; • Extending the 1NC • Read from answers and extensions. Address the arguments of the Affirmative 2AC and block the 1AR. • Pick and choose • Pick the arguments which are strongest.

  33. 2NR (Just FYI) • Overcoming the presumption of the 2AR • Must be persuasive to convince judge; refute all arguments made in the 1AR; judge should understand negative position as well as reasons why neg. should win each round. • Telling the story • Put all the arguments together into a story explaining which arguments the negative is winning and why; this overview should be short yet comprehensive • Overcoming the presumption of the 2AR • Address each of the Aff. Arguments about how moving troops to Guam is better, etc. • Impact calculus • Timeframe, magnitude, probability. • Telling the story • Frame the debate, show off your flowing skills by retracing the debate and showing (subtly) how the neg. won each round.

Can you elaborate this? • Pointing out errors (flaws in logic) • Can you explain the link between your harm and nuclear war in your own words? • Setting up your arguments • Can you define racism?
