Week 2, Day 2
Objective: Understanding specifics about CX and LD debate.  

1. Since I came in on Friday and took over the class, you guys didn't really get the stuff done that was on here.  :)
2. What is debate? Video
1. Watch as a class
3. Fill out this Debate Student Information Form
1. SEVERAL of you have not filled it out yet.
2. I need EVERY student in the class to fill this out.  
4. According to those that have filled out the survey, it looks like most people are leaning toward either CX or LD more heavily.  I'd like the class to go ahead and break up and discuss additional details about their event.  (Order of speeches, case construction, jargon associated with debate, etc.)  If you truly have no idea which event you want to do, I would encourage you to begin with CX.  Most people say it is the harder of the two events and if you decide it isn't for you, it is a little bit of an easier transition to LD.  This is not true for everyone, but that is what several have experienced.  
1. I know Maranda has prepared a quiz for the CXers to do.  
2. If you are not involved with helping the newbies out, you need to get started on your own case construction for this year.  EVERYONE should be working!!!!!!!  We are going to do great things this year and I can't wait to DOMINATE!!!!  
3. I'm putting the PO for the Baylor CX topic discussion in TODAY...if you did not give me your name on Friday, I need to know ASAP!  Text me!!!!  Seriously, before 3:00pm!  :)  It is this coming Saturday, September 6th!
5. As always, please email me with any questions you might have-cavalos@godleyisd.net.
