AFF LAB LEADERS

1. TAKE ATTENDANCE! MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THE RIGHT KIDS!

REMINDER: NEVER POST ON THE WALLS/WINDOWS/ANYTHING EXCEPT WITH BLUE TAPE.

PART 1 Explain basics of the aff. case: significance (problem/harms), inherency (sq policy/sq isn’t solving); solvency (plan solves problem/harms); plan text.

 

PART 2 Handout the aff and neg vs. your lab case files. THEY SHOULD BE IN A BOX IN YOUR ROOM. Have students read and file this evidence. SAVE THE REST OF THE NEG CASE EV FOR MONDAY NIGHT DISTRIBUTION.

 

PART 3 Each student prepares a 1AC—showing they can put together a case.

 

PART 4: DISTRIBUTE THE NEGS AGAINST ALL AFF CASES. Students should highlight and file these files. You should discuss each case.

 

CLEAN YOUR ROOM—DO THIS EACH AND EVERY DAY!

POLICY PARTNERS? You, aff lab leaders, choose when you do this but you must have teams partnered by thursday evening.

Yes, maverick debaters are okay for a team--although let's keep that rare--only for odd number labs. Try seeking out another lab that has an odd number of kids.

CHECK EACH KID’S COMPUTER: Computers may not be able to hook up to the server without the latest windows/mac and anti-virus updates. STILL—try to check each kid’s computer. We can give them new anti-virus software if it is needed and updates can be downloaded quickly.

10:30pm

End-of-Day: Head to Jewett; Remain near or in the Residence Hall at night unless accompanied by a staff member.

BE IN YOUR ROOM FOR BED BY 12:25AM.

STAFF PLEASE CHECK YOUR EMAIL 3 TIMES A DAY TO ASSURE YOU ARE GETTING THE LATEST INFORMATION INCLUDING ANNOUNCEMENTS THAT YOU NEED TO TELL THE KIDS.

ADVANCED LECTURE

--List and briefly Disads at the camp

--Discuss Advanced Disad Theory including:

--Uniqueness and making turns irrelevant

--Making Turns unique

--Using DA’s that link anytime a change happens (so, either way the aff answers, they link!)

--what to really look for when looking for links (eg—links that apply to the plan rather than the status quo)

--logical links to the plan (eg plan has to take a position on Taiwan; that will upset china or Taiwan—no card needed for that part!)

--internal links—what to look for!

--outweighing affirmative advantages

--how to make generic disads appear to link specifically

--how to run a disad to get an answer that kills the aff solvency (eg get aff to say “not unique—status quo already more or less does our plan”)

--other advanced disad theory

RESEARCHING & CARD CUTTING AT WHITMAN

INT: Olin 210

SR: Olin 211

INT: Nick

SR: Brian

STAFF: TAKE ATTENDANCE

 

Note: This is a short lecture—30 minutes

Researching at Penrose Library Online and in the Physical Library itself.

(prior to this, almost all research is pre-done by lab leaders and gathered on the web)

--discuss using the online catalogue

--discuss where books, magazines, etc. are

--discuss using Penrose databases (eg Proquest, Lexis)

--if you have some exceptionally good Google tips, go for it

 

Note that the kids will actually go to the library in their neg lab that starts at 10:15am and get one book and one magazine each AFTER your lecture

 

Remind students how to source cite evidence and tag evidence according to WNDI standards. Show an example and explain each part.

NEG. RESEARCH LAB

NEG Lab Room (same one as your DA-CP-K Lab)

Novices: Go to your aff lab—it is also your neg research lab

Your Neg Lab Leader

FIRST: Working with your lab, Pick a position or positions to research. The lab can split into groups of 2 or whatever.

THE GOAL: EACH KID PRODUCES AT LEAST 15 PAGES OF EVIDENCE THAT IS PART OF A COMPLETE RESEARCH ASSIGNMENT. EXAMPLES:

--A new DA with backup (and answers so it can be run at the tournament)*

--Impact takeouts

--A new neg case hit

Only in extremely exceptional cases can kids do something different besides research.

 

THEN at 11AM: Have the kids actually go to the library and get one book and one magazine each--HAVE A CHECK-OFF SYSTEM TO MAKE SURE EACH KID DOES THIS.

 

THEN: Help your kids do their research. PLEASE DON’T LEAVE THEM ON THEIR OWN. CHECK WHAT THEY ARE DOING EACH 10 MINUTES UNLESS YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN THEY ARE RESEARCHING PRODUCTIVELY. Provide concrete help--AS IN, TELL THEM WHAT TO USE FOR SEARCH TERMS (while explaining how you came up with that); SHOW THEM HOW TO DECIDE IF AN ARTICLE IS WORTH READING; AND THEN WATCH THEM DO IT PROVIDING HELP.

 

PART 4 Check each kid’s bracketing, tagging, citing of evidence. REQUIRED. We need this to get kids to do their files right!!!!
