Speech structure material & Feedback form

Our last meeting was a somewhat themed one, since we had our focus on the structure of the debate speech. Here's the material used. The figure is showing the structure that every speech should have. In other words, each of these four parts should be found in each one of the eight speeches in the debate.

I also prepared a form that was meant for my own use when I'm observing a debate and giving feedback. You can find that form here. As you can see, this is not a proper adjudication form, this is simply to keep track of what was in the speeches. So far most people have been lacking signposting, for example, so this is going to help me know exactly if any of the essential parts of the speech are missing.

I wasn't going to publish the feedback form at first, but someone pointed out that it could also work as a useful checklist for the prep time, so you can make sure you have prepared for the essentials. If you want to do this, you can now print one of these for yourself.
