My name is Jaelly Franco, I am a freshman at Georgia Southern University double majoring in history and international studies. I did two years of public forum debate with Grovetown High School. As a judge I am going to focus on rhetoric and persuasion so you can consider me a "lay judge". Explain your case, remember I did no research on this topic so whether it is common sense or not i will remain objective and only judge the information and research that was presented to me. Please please please do not spread, and do not send me your speech, if you have to send me your speech because you talk to fast that is on you. Public forum is about persuasion, persuade me that your right and why I should agree with you more than your opponent. I am really big on flow, so stay organized (signpost) and don't make me work to hard to follow your argument. I do judge cross-fires, Cross-fires are for you to understand your opponents argument stay respectful, but it is also for you to show me you know what your talking about. As long as everyone stays respectful and persuasive it is anyones game.
