There are hundreds of competitions at the county and state level, culminating in heated national competitions. Yet, at many high schools and colleges, coaches are drawn from the history or English departments with little or no experience in the highly structured procedures of this popular discipline. And while competitive debate has been growing each year as a prime academic activity, there have been no popular handbooks to help students and coaches prepare for contests effectively and efficiently. Practical and authoritative, this guide includes not only tips and guidelines for effective preparation and delivery, but full-length, actual transcripts of successful competitions in each format. Endorsed by the two national governing bodies for competitive debate the National Federation of State High School Associations and the National Forensic League and priced for the budget-conscious student and high school teacher alike, Competitive Debate: The Official Guide is set to become the instructional “bible” for tens of thousands of present and future debaters and their coaches. Inside, Dr. Richard Edwards—award winning debate coach, professor, former competitive debate judge, and author—leads readers through the three popular formats of competitive debate:
• Policy Debate
• Lincoln-Douglas Debate
• Public Forum Debate | | Contents note: | The value of debate; Making sense of argument; Getting the most out of research; Choosing the debate format that is right for you; An introduction to policy debate; Affirmative case structures in policy debate; Negative strategy in policy debate; The role of the counter plan in policy debate; Cross-examination technique in policy debate; Critiques in policy debate; An introduction to Lincoln-Douglas debate; Value hierarchies and philosophy in Lincoln-Douglas debate; Affirmative casing in Lincoln-Douglas debate; Negative strategy in Lincoln-Douglas debate; Cross-examination technique in Lincoln-Douglas debate; Format and speaker burdens in public forum debate; The media model in public forum debate; Strategy in public forum debates; Appendixes; Policy debate final round; Lincoln-Douglas final round; Public forum final round; Organizations governing debate competition; Debate resolutions from previous years; | | Record link: | https://library.seeu.edu.mk/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=17345 |
