Very informative video
Here are my notes:
1. Ponder over the topic before a google search
2. Learn about the current realities of the topic within a country or region and beyond (moving from narrow research to broad)
3. Consider resolution for 3 broad themes (ex- environmental, sociological, legal, political, etc.), come up with 2 arguments each theme and divide the presentation.
4. Support your argument with meaningful content, ex- studies, statistics, facts etc. Create a diverse portfolio of your research
5. Make sure you have a clear logical link between your arguments and content
6. Be mindful about the supporting points the opposition has. Don't make your arguments just a rebuttal against the points of the opposition party (even before the points have been made). Keep those ideas handy for the right time.
7. Come up with fun quotes, puns or anything clever to make your presentation memorable
8. Develop your own style.
Well, I got a few hours....
Ik I'm 5 yrs late but same....
Same😓
My debate in 2 days and i still don’t think i have enough info to be ready😭 its my first debate ever and the topic is so bad I can’t find any arguments that i can use im gonna cry
@@bb-xd1bb oh don't worry!! It was my first this time too. Try asking your friends or acquaintance with debate experience they will be able to help u with atleast the research part of it at the least.
N don't worry since it's not yet over u still got this🔥🔥

Kim Ji Gi thank you!! I just finished gathering some information and brainstorming and im feeling less freaked out. i really appreciate your kind words
Most precious 5 minutes.All what anyone need to prepare for a debate.
Thank you so much.That was really helpful.
we get 15 minutes to prep in BP..
Yeah!
And damn tough to argue on anything other than principles of we don't know about the topic
Damn tough
well i know im six years late but did you win
How long did your speech have to be?
Dammn, i know ik 9 years late but did you win?
i got till 8 am but since im a business major, procastrination comes naturally to me but thankfully so does improvisation.
The debate is in two days i feel like i wanna cry😭😭 the topic is protecting rainforests and i’m opposition and there is literally NOTHING I CAN USE TO BACK UP MY ARGUMENTS WHAT DO I DO😭
How'd it go?
Is that topic?? Means how anyone could be against protecting the rainforest lol😂
HOW DID IT GO????
So how is the result? How your argument to againts protecting rainforest?😭
that's easy. you should just state deforestation can lead to more space for buildings or transportation. Maybe even use it for farming. Any side is not that hard to come up with strong points, just have to find the benefits to it
I get 15 -30 minutes. How to prepare for these?
Be fast

Thanks for uploading this video
I got the worst debate topic given to me, "should children legally have to be vaccinated?" I'm on the against side.... automatic loss
No vaccines are tested in combination with another vaccine, and no vaccines are tested against a control group. Also vaccine companies are't liable for their damages; by law the taxpayers pay for the damages done so the companies have little financial incentive to make the best product. Since 1988, over 21,491 petitions have been filed with the VICP. Over that 30-year time period, 18,473
petitions have been adjudicated, with 7,044 of those determined to be compensable, while 11,429 were
dismissed. Total compensation paid over the life of the program is approximately $4.2 billion.""

If you even knew your face mask "theoretical" argument would not be so theoretical a few years later.... you would have invested in face mask stocks? 😆
If Harvard has people like this, I am far better than them

Don't use government stats. Always go nonprofit, non-government
