--Students were asked to create a five minute Negative block speech to extend an Obama Good Elections DA. Students were given the 1NC shell and a file of potential cards they could use for their extensions. They used their own 2ACs from the night before as the 2AC to answer when they gave the extension speech. --Want to start off slower --Do impact calc at the top --Maybe try the backwards drill or inserting a word between every other word like the or and. --You get really loud at random times --Why does this California argument matter? Wont Obama win Cal. Either way? --Spent a lot of time --Need to tell me when you are going into the link debate—you want to make more analytical contextualizations of evidence instead of just breezing into it because I need a framework --Need to make distinctions between your internal link and their’s? Why is Obama better than the plan? Why does their evidence not get the same impact? Long-term solution? I need to know this. --Why is the plan not climate leadership? --Anthropgenic? This doesn’t make sense—you cant concede it—just say double bind with the aff? Read an external impact? --Don’t just be reading cards --If theres a problem you have to be ready—make sure to take the time? --You jumped around back from the internal link debate to the uniqueness debate—you need to tell me what this is? Otherwise the flow gets really screwed up --Speak towards me

--Obama loses meaning the plan doesn’t work

--Evidence comparison

--Most all of the arguments you are making are responsive and smart! Just read a few more cards since you have some time left. --It seems like you might need more of your cards highlighted - they seemed awfully short. --You're speaking is pretty good, but you should work on keeping up a steady pace. You change speeds a lot. Speaking drills will help this. --Good job pointing out the plan solves warming! It's smart and makes it hard for the neg to win the disad. However, you should __not__ be reading the "warming isn't anthropogenic" card - this contradicts your 1AC advantage. Maybe make some analytic arguments about why Obama couldn't get an energy bill passed through a GOP congress.
