Debate:
I am looking for style: how well do you deliver your speech?
how is your pacing?
are you emphasizing your points?
are you adjusting your tone and speed?
are you making eye contact?
are you delivering your speech to your audience, or are you just reading your speech?
did you practice your delivery?
Do you have a claim and a solid line of reasoning?
are you incorporating your stats/facts or relying on them?
Facts/stats should enhance your argument, not be the center of it.
Are you brining in something new/unique or are you just repeating previous points?
Is your speech well researched?
Rebuttals
are you able to effectively challenge and counter opposing arguments?
are your rebuttals grounded in facts, or anecdotal in nature?
Understanding of legislation and how our political system works
did you do your research?
