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. |

position on --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

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. SOME POLICY STAFF JUDGE LD DEBATES

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!!!! SOME POLICY STAFF JUDGE LD DEBATES
