Each and every student in the debate

1) presents a case,

2) asks and answer questions of another debater,

3) responds to opponent’s case, and

4) defends their case and weighs the arguments made in the debate.

Students get “Huddles” which is time to prepare with each other/on their own before each of their speeches.

If there are only 3 on each side, skip the 4^th speaker.

If one team has less speakers—that team’s debaters have to take on 2 speaker positions.
