2. RESEARCH YOUR RESPONSES

 

 

First: Open ChatGPT  OR  Open Gemini

(we suggest ChatGPT or Gemini; CoPilot wasn’t as good in our tests)

On the topic: TYPE YOUR TOPIC HERE, make 2 responses to each of the 4 pro and 4 con arguments with each response including a claim with support, citation, evidence, example, logical connection.

 

Third: Save the AI Responses

 

NOTE YOU WILL USE THESE RESPONSES DURING YOUR DEBATE.
Don’t put them in your scripts til then.

 

Use the search results but use your own wording AND ALSO what you think—your own analysis and examples.

 

ALWAYS SAVE YOUR AI SEARCHES AND RESPONSES—YOU WILL USE THEM LATER INCLUDING AT THE SEATTLE U TOURNAMENT.
