1. BY CHANISE FIRST CONSTRUCTIVE

2. GENERAL Gain as much offense as possible to use to win the round Beware of holes in your case and try to cover them This is the only prewritten speech which has unlimited prep.

3. NOTES: ONLY PREWRITTEN SPEECH. This is unlimited prep time.

4. OBSERVATIONS 1.Definition 2.Framework 3.Any other points needed to be made pertaining to the resolution. Clarity that may be a future problem within the round.

5. Contentions

6. CLAIM WARRANT IMPACT Every contention should be structured the same way, claim warrant impact. It can include multiple CW! Or link several together. So what is a CW!?

7. CLAIM Claim: What you are telling the judge will happen or is currently happening. Ex: Terrorists hate the United States

8. WARRANT Warrant: A warrant is why the claim will happen. THIS IS NOT JUST A PIECE OF EVIDENCE SAYING IT WILL HAPPEN. This is an explanation of what in the world will make it happen or is causing it to happen. Ex: C: Terrorist hate the united states W: Because we invaded their land/ they have made threats against the US. They have attacked the US

9. IMPACT (! IS THE SIGN FOR IMPACT) Impact: What will happen as a result of your claim. Ex: C: Terrorist hate the united states W: Because we invaded their land/ they have made threats against the US. They have attacked the US !: Unless something changes it will happen again, they will attack us.

10. Try one of your own!!

11. VARSITY LEVEL- THREE CONTENTIONS First- General Stocked Second- General sounding but odd You want them to mishandle it Third- Odd idea that has a strong link but far off (Ex: Justify eugenics, stem cell, Africa, etc.)

12. FIRST CONTENTION General contention always heard: The Purpose: -Abundance of offense -Time skew, if they know how to answer it they are going to spend more time on it. Stock: Add statistic after statistic with analytics and logical links to give them far too much to answer

13. SECOND CONTENTION Sounding general but can be mishandled The Purpose: -Have better debates by forcing them to listen to the odd contention -If they don’t listen to the contention right they will simply pull up the block and answers they think they know but it isn’t. You will still have offense- in your second speech you can state “They seemed to mishandle/not understand this contention- what it means once again is…”

14. THIRD CONTENTION Odd idea *UNIQUE* that has a strong link but very far off from the norm. (Ex: Justify eugenics, stem cell, Africa, etc.) The Purpose: -Give you an advantage as they will not be prepared to debate it. -Most the contentions have been heard of before by being creative you will be rewarded. -Shock the other team, they will not know what hit them. -Force better debates. They will have to get specific destroying your links and impacts logically instead of making it another contention of competing evidence debates. * If you cannot come up with a good third contention like this I would recommend two general stocked contentions and then one mishandle
