Due April 17, 2020--Everyone must participate as it will be part of your grade! Two things must be submitted on schoology: 1. Speech audio file, 2. MLA Works Cited Page. Good luck and have fun!
LAMDL Speech Contest - Open Now!
The first event that we will be opening for everyone today is: "Resolved: Celebrate Debate," a speech contest. The full details are attached below and posted on our website here. In short, debaters should record themselves giving a 5 minute speech articulating one of the arguments they have prepared this season. Our goal is to give students a space to highlight the knowledge and preparation they have put into this season: whether it is a file they spent multiple practices trying to comprehend or a new argument that they cut, but were unable to use in a tournament setting, or something in between. This event is open to all divisions. Debaters are free to use the LAMDL evidence set, but are not limited to it. The best speeches will be awarded prizes including an iPad and gift cards!
Full details, guidelines, and instructions here: https://www.lamdl.org/what-we-do/speechcontest
Students can submit their speech directly at this link: https://forms.gle/7KjBgZeqPAZKUeB18
We will begin accepting submissions today! The submission window will be closed on April 17th.
