Event Description:
Students will draw two topics for the round. They will choose one and put the other back and immediately begin preparation using paper pencil and/or notecard ONLY. Other students must not look at the topics that were not chosen.
Students have three minutes TOTAL to give their speech. There is no preparation time.
Judging should be based on the argument presented and its relevance to the topic chosen. Presentation may be a factor for speaker points as well (such as delivery and gestures), but strong and interesting argumentation should be the main factor for deciding the top speaker.
