Points of Information! • A Point of Information is when you can interrupt a speaker by standing and saying ‘Point of Information.’ • The speaker doesn’t have to accept you! They may tell you to sit down! • It is intended to put the speaker off and allow you to make a counter argument • It isn’t a question, but a statement
To the Floor! • After the debate, questions are opened to the floor • This is time for observers to make a comment or question directed to either the proposition or the opposition on the debate • These are then answered by the summary speakers to round up the debate • Can you make a lasting impression?
Plenary: Now grade your own performance in the debate! Can you set yourself a target to improve?
