1AC (Kenji): When reading your 1AC, try to distinguish the cards by saying either 'next' or 'and'. Additionally, do some pen drills in order to help your clarity and tone. Also you had an extra 1:30 left so use that time to highlight more warrants in your cards because they might not be enough to support the claims that your tags make.
1AC Cross examination:
__ Sara-try to ask more straightforward questions. Stand in front of your opponent and make eye contact with the judge. *(this goes to you too kenji!) it'll drastically increase your speaker points!
__ Kenji-read through your 1AC cards and become more familiar with them! It'll help you tons when answering cross-ex questions.
1NC (Yiwen): You were very clear! Very good job! Make sure you have your 1NC together before you go up to give a speech (you may use prep if you really think you are unprepared for a speech!) Also, you can just cross apply the 1AC Royal card to your disad. Also on topicality--try not to be stumped in your 1NC. Try not to pause. Don't say "I don't know what I'm saying"--that drastically decreases your ethos. PLUS: don't read more than one topicality violation--I've discussed this in the last meeting.
1NC Cross examination:
__Kenji: Try to rephrase your CX questions.Good job stumping the negative on their links to their politics disad.
__ Yiwen- READ YOUR POLITICS DISAD and be able to explain it!
2AC (Samiul) Topicality--good job explaining the 'we meet' argument. Say that you are topical. Explain why you are topical. Your second card wasn't necessary--you can simply just extend a 1AC card.Also when saying your impact calculus, make it explicit that you are doing impact calculus--say that case outweighs or the impacts of the 1AC outweigh the impacts that the negative has brought up.PLUS: you have a very clear and loud voice! Keep it up! By the way, I like how you answered all (or most) of the arguments.
2AC Cross examination:
__ Yiwen: Try to ask questions that will get you somewhere when it comes to your disad.
__Samiul: I liked your answer to the question about solvency--you seemed to know what you are saying! Answer the 'who are getting jobs' question better.
2NC (Sara): Start out your 2NC with impact calculus. Do more explanation of your disadvantage and tell the judge why it is a reason to vote negative.
2NC Cross examination:
__Samiul: I liked your CX questions. Indicting evidence is a good idea!
__ Sara: Try to stand behind your evidence!
*NOTE: Kenji try not to dominate your partners CX. You can intervene but don't make it obvious that you're asking all the questions.
1NR (Yiwen): Use ALL your time! You had 2:16 left.
1AR (Kenji): BEAUTIFUL JOB WITH THE EXTENSIONS! LOVE IT! Great job with the analysis that you made about the aff. Try to keep track of your time! Write an overview
2NR (Sara): Good analysis on the top of the 2NR! Also address the judge instead of addressing the other debaters. FACE THE JUDGE! NO LINK STORY! Do a better job explaining the link!
2AR (Samiul): You did a great job distinguishing the plan and the disadvantage and proved that the aff's impacts would come first. GOOD JOB!
I'M REALLY PROUD OF YOU ALL! GOOD JOB!
