Now that the preliminary round of voting has been completed, we have some stragglers who had a buy in because of their placement on the seed list.
Click this link to vote for the final three stand-offs of the first round.
For those of you who did not make it out of Round One, you are now a minion to the victor. As a minion your job is to help your leader achieve success. You are at their whims, and your role may be to help research the competitor, act as a practice debate partner, etc. You will get a grade based on your helpfulness as a minion!
Minion Assessment Form - to be completed by the Minion Supervisor/Victor
If you DID move on, you have an entirely new challenge ahead. On June 6, we will have the second round of head to head debates. For round two, each leader is allowed up to a 3 minute* statement.
Topic: What is your lasting legacy and what makes you a ruler worthy of this competition?
Following the statement, each may ask the other up to three questions. The higher seed asks first, then lower seed asks, then higher, then lower and so forth. You have one minute to answer the question and time will be called.
Breakdown: 6* minutes for statements - 3 per side, Question 1A - B1 min to answer, Question 1B - A1 min to answer, etc.
*3 minutes is not the minimum, you do not need to use all three of those minutes. You will not be allowed to go over three minutes, and will be cut off from talking if statement exceeds three minutes.
For Round 2, visuals, costumes, props are OPTIONAL, but may be used. Any and all props/visuals/costumes must be of your own design (ex, can't just print off a map).
Voting will by done by your classmates digitally. All debaters may use ONE 3x5" index card. No violence and all language must be PG-13 (keep it clean for the kids in the audience, folks.)
