> Millicent Hennessey > Wake Forest University ‘16 > > The Nightingale-Bamford School ‘12 > Debated Public Forum in HS, and now transitioning to Policy. > I’m down for anything, as long as you are making strong arguments—claim, warrant, and impact. Throughout the debate, answer the question: Why is your argument better than your opponents? > I am not completely familiar with all the policy jargon/ techniques so be EXTREMELY clear and don’t resort to being overly technical. If I don't get it down on my flow, make sure I do next time. > The K makes me cringe, but I won’t vote you down if your links are applicable and you explain it. > Cross-ex should not be wasted. Don’t abuse your opponent, but make it clear you know more than he or she. I always appreciate wit (wit wins you speaks), but I especially enjoy an amusing CX. > __Golden Speaking Rules:__ > > 1. Speaking loudly/clearly comes before speed. > 2. Don’t be arrogant or obnoxious during the debate—it takes away from your ethos. > 3. Relax and have fun. > 4. You do you.
