  10. How to Analyze a Resolution • Step 1-Define Terms • Look for standard and non-standard definitions • Step 2- Identify the implied value/core issue • Step 3- Identify ancillary issues

  11. Rules of Sources • The more current the source the better it is • Internet sources are ok, but verify the veracity of the source • Cite Sources and print out hard copies • No internal ellipses • “… and…no…the”

  12. Internet Sources Bad-Risky • Wikipedia (special rule) • .com • Small unknown websites, websites that advocate extremist view • Other peoples research papers Good • Jstor, Lexus-Nexus, Google Scholar • Governments sites-.gov • Website ending in .edu • Well know .org site

  14. Framework

  15. Framework Definitions • Value- A principle, standard, or quality considered worthwhile or desirable • i.e.: justice, restraint, compassion, • Value Criterion- the measure of the worth of a value. • Ex: how would you rate two different restaurants?

  17. Tuesday July 27th Agenda • Creating Arguments that work • Group Research • Flowing a Debate Round

  18. Case Structure • Framework • Contention • Voters

  19. Contentions-Arguments • What is an argument? • An argument is a logically supported assertion that can be proven true. • An argument is not an opinion, because it has support.

  20. Toulmin • Claim: Your argument, what you say is true. • The prison system is corrupt • Data: Evidence that supports your argument • 3,000 guards were convicted of taking bribes, • Warrant: Underlying assumption • Corruption is bad

  21. Appeals • Ethos-ethics • It is morally wrong to kill • Pathos-passion/emotion • This law is needed to protect the children • Logos-Logic • We will save money and time by doing this

  22. Logical Fallacies • See fallacy chart

  23. AC= 3 min CX= 1.5 min NC= 3.5 min 1.5 min is for rebuttal CX= 1.5 min 1AR= 1.5 min NR= 3 min 2AR= 2 min AC= Affirmative Construction NC= Negative Construction CX= Cross Examination AR= Affirmative Rebuttal NR=Negative Rebuttal Modified LD Times

  24. Voters • Reasons for why you have one the round • I have proven that… • Head to the lab and research

  25. Flowing • Flowing is an essential skill in debate, before you can argue against an opponent you must know what they said • Standard note taking methods do not work in debate, they are to slow and don’t fit the needs of a round

  26. What you will need • Blank Paper • Fine point pen (2 different colors) • Abbreviation guide

  27. Flowing Steps • Step 1: Take 2 Sheets of paper and label one AFF and the other NEG • Fold the paper into 4 vertical sections • Pre-Flow the Def, Value, Value Criterion, & Contention1 ( use a different color for aff and neg)

  28. Flowing • See Handout • Sample Resolution: • Inaction in the face of injustice makes an individual morally culpable • Watch Sample Aff

  29. Caperton’s Flow

  30. Homework • Write one long contention or two short contentions for your debate case. Remember total time limits.
