Debate I Assignment - October 24, 2016
Below you will find a Microsoft Word document which will detail your assigned/picked LD resolution, the side of the resolution you are to defend and your opponent. Your assignment for today is look through the debate briefs (each topic is noted below along with attached files) and locate no fewer than three unique / different pieces of evidence that gives your case offense.
Offense is the idea that the evidence moves your case forward - or that they give a judge a reason to vote for your side of the resolution. After you've located these three pieces of evidence, cut/paste them onto separate sheets of paper (use Microsoft Word for this) and bold/underline the portions of the cards that help you to prove why we should affirm or negate (based on the side you've been assigned).
On the forth page, list no fewer than 3 values that you could use and a value criteria for each that you feel could be used as a way to argue this topic.
Turn in all four pages (print them by the bell) by the end of the period. Staple the four pages together.
