Mastering Policy Debate: Tips for Success in Cross-Examination Format

Join us for an engaging policy debate event where two teams of students will compete by arguing different sides of a given resolution. Each round consists of constructive speeches followed by cross-examination, rebuttals, and further questioning. Teams will have 8 minutes for constructs and rebuttal preparation, with each speaker delivering around 16 minutes of arguments. Participants will need to analyze topics, write persuasive cases, and procure substantial evidence. Are you ready to deepen your understanding of argumentation and develop your critical thinking skills? Check your handbook to determine if cross-examination is right for you!
