Review of Lincoln-Douglas Debate Style and Value Claims
http://www.illinoiscivilwar.org/debates.html
This site explains the begining of this style in the 1850's, fyi

Lots of info on LD and cross exams on this site, you have to tool around to find the good stuff!
Remember: Each team of 2 will debate a resolution of VALUE by establish a definition or two and then exploring ill/ blame and/or a plan. Affirmative is the govt/side for the resolution/change and negative argues for the status quo. As always, the burden of proof is with the affirmative. After each 3 minute constructive speech, the other side will cross exam for about one minute in an unscripted "shoot out" or "forensic free-for-all!" Then rebuttals should take about 1 1/2 to 2 minutes to wrap up, review and end very MEMORABLY as well as restate the resolution for the audiences' benefit. No outline is required, but each side should have a good visual aid and consider dressing to "support" their argument.
Post your questions and or ideas on two topics here:
1.) Questions about the LD debates next week
2.) Suggestions and creative ideas for your final exam

1). Because we will are only speaking for 3 minutes, will the negative side be able to clash with the ill and the blame now that the time is cut in half?
2.) Maybe instead of having a written exam, we could do an impromptu speech instead.

1. Are we required to turn in flow notes for the LD debates?
2. Take home exam that we turn in electronically so we don't have to show up to campus.

1.) Will we be expected to have the debates ready for next tuesday's class?
2.) instead of a written final, we should have NO final
-Garrette Adams
1) Will we be voting on the debates again?
2) I agree with Kavi! and maybe being able to choose your own topic that your passionate about and make up some arguments or answer questions about terms, types of debates, etc that we learned in class and from the book.
-Reachel Ramsay
1) Since we're allowed to cross examine our opponents, does this mean no more POIs?
2) The best final is no final.

1. I don't have any questions about the LD debate.
2. A take home final or work with a partner final.
Thanks for the ideas you guys! You don't have to flow next week and we will start Tuesday with LD's--No point of info are made in LD debate, just cross exam! Smiles--S

Jamila is nice. (TEST)
1. I don't really have any questions about LD debate but...
2. I would like a take home final that we can email you so we dont have to be on campus or in class for the final.
Michael Drummond
I was wondering how are we supposed to cover all the information in three minutes.

1. I don't have any questions about the LD debate.
2. I agree with Michael. We should have a take home final that we can email so we won't have to come to class that day.
Ashley Ginn
I don't have any questions as we have already done the debate
Trevor Huth
1. i have no questions about the lincoln-douglas debate
2. for the final we should do on the spot debate instead.
-neal vickers
1.) how funny are these lincoln douglas debates supposed to be and how factual
2.) our final should be the big debate or the paper :)
I like the final impromptu debates idea!
