Overview

Lincoln-Douglas debate will provide you the opportunity to learn life skills as you research, formulate ideas, develop formal arguments and polish your persuasive presentations. LD debate is particularly beneficial because it encompasses many areas of academia: philosophy, history, social science, rhetoric, communication ethics, and political science. Any competitor stands to gain immensely from investing time in this competitive event. It is no wonder that it is such a popular component of the UIL activities program. Written to be accessible to middle school and novice debaters, this book is nevertheless useful to the varsity-level high school debater who longs for consistent success at tournaments. The author walks the reader through his innovative Grammatical Resolution Analysis Method (GRAM), which takes much of the effort and guesswork out of writing cases. He especially focuses on resolution-relevant values and criteria, providing detailed explanations of how to create a solid criterion where most LD manuals only provide vague information. His instruction goes beyond case writing, providing useful guidance on successful cross-examination, rebuttal preparation, when and how to use prep time effectively, flowing rounds, effective presentation, and much more. Myers also includes a chapter with quick references to the most commonly used philosophers and suggests alternative sources to traditional philosophers to help you stand out in around. The book is the one-stop resource to help the new debater advance quickly and painlessly from clueless to competition-ready.
