 THE THREE M's
The three M's is a major part of presentation mainly
because it is what adjudicators look at when they are scoring.
The three M's, Matter, Method and Manner all have specific
characteristics that set out the basic outlines for the
presentation .
 MATTER
“Matter is the content of the speech. It can be contrasted with
the presentation style of the speech (manner) and the structure
of the speech (method).
 MATTER
Matter includes arguments, evidence presented to support
those arguments, examples and analysis. Matter includes
substantive matter, rebuttal and points of information. In
debates in which points of information are used, both the
content of the question and the content of the answer are
considered matter
 The elements of matter
The elements of matter are:

Logic

Relevance
 METHOD
Method is the way the speech is structured. This looks at
the ordering of an individuals debate, ie. did the first
speaker define the topic before moving on to their points,
or did a speaker remember to rebut the oppositions case
before moving on to their own.
 METHOD
Method also includes the time that an individuals debate /Speech
goes for and how long a debater spends of each part of their
debate, introduction, rebuttal, points and summary.
 MANNER
Manner is usually overlooked as an important part of debating
but still makes up 40 % of a debaters mark in any debate. This
covers a debaters speaker style, the way they present their case,
if they include humor and if they constantly make eye contact or
read straight of their notes.
 MANNER
Though these things sound simple, debaters constantly
overlook the importance of these, and loose easy marks
because of it.
