Debate Outline
Use this as a guideline in planning your speeches. For two-person teams, each person
will give one constructive speech, and you may either have one person do the rebuttal or
share it. For three-person teams, each person gets one speech.
INTERMISSION
● 6 minutes
● Teams confer and strategize; help rebuttal speakers add to speeches
In moving from essay to speech, the constructive speeches should include material
primarily from the confirmation and statement of the case. You may also use material
from the refutation in the constructive speeches. For the rebuttal speech, you will use
material mostly from the refutation, you will respond to points your opponents have
made, and you will review and remind the audience of your main points—the reasons to
vote for your team.
