  2. Recapping the role of a Whip Speaker • Identify the “clash points” aka the voting issues. • Clarify/add analysis to your partner’s extension. • Differentiate your team from those on your bench and the opposition. • Show why your team won the debate.

  3. Clash Points • Identify two/three “clash points” i.e. what the main contentious issues were in the debate. • Use these to structure your speech. • Put everything, important, that was said under these headings. • Prioritise the clash points containing your extension.

  4. Note-taking for a summary speech • On one page, “judge” the top half debate. • On another, write down the headlines of the main points both sides make. Especially opp. • Have a page for each of the clash points.

  5. On your “judging sheet” • Circle arguments which need to be responded to. • Note down any rebuttal you have in shorthand next to them. • Ensure you speak to your partner so that they know what needs to be responded to.

  6. Main points. • Ensure that your extension isn’t repeating any of these points. • HOWEVER, circle points on this sheet which you feel you can do an analysis extension on. • Ensure you have rebuttal to these within your summary speech.

  7. Clash Points • Put the clash point at the top of the sheet. • Under these put down the argument of an opposition team and which team said it. • Below it put down the responses your opening team make AND, more importantly, the “debate winning” arguments/analysis your partner wins.

  8. Clash Points continued. • Add examples to your partners analysis. • Emphasise how your partner’s analysis wasn’t engaged with and why it is so important. • Differentiate yourself from the top-half team. • NB: if the team infront of you has CLEARLY beaten you. Refer to arguments as “our arguments” or “we tell you in Oppthat…”
