SUBSESSION II

THEORIES OF CASEBUILDING

Time

30 minutes

What is a case?

When people talk about a “case” in a debate, they are talking about the whole package of a team’s arguments. Imagine a debate as a physical battle. The definition draws the lines of the battlefield. The case would be the fort that each team builds using arguments as bricks. The rebuttals would be the weapons they use to attack their enemies, or in a debate, the other team.

Definition

A definition is not always a definition of the words in a motion. It is supposed to clarify the motion by defining what the debate will be about. This means that it makes limitations or parameters to the motion to focus the debate.

A team can define the motion by:

a. looking at the key words in the motion.

Find the words that need to be defined. Is there something that may have more than one meaning or interpretation?  What limitation is needed?

b. looking at real issues in the real world.

Motions usually talk about issues that are debated in the real world. Ask yourself what is

 happening in the world. What motion-related debate is happening in society?

A definition must be reasonable. The Government/Affirmative team must give a definition that gives

 room for the Opposition/Negative team to oppose it. On defining, always ask “What debate is expected from

 this motion? Are there any reasonable arguments to oppose the definition we’ve set up?”


Arguments

Good arguments are logical and relevant to the point  you are trying to make. It should be made up of:

a.     Assertion – what you are trying to prove

b.    Reasoning – the reason why that assertion is llogical

c.     Evidence – examples/data that support the assertion and reasoning

d.    Link back – a brief explanation of how you have proven your point and that it is relevant

Looking at the amount of time you have, it is best to have 2 to 4 arguments. These arguments should  be brought by the 1^st and 2^nd speakers. This means  that some arguments are explained by the 1^st speaker while the rest are explained by the 2^nd speaker. How you divide them is called a team  split. Each of these arguments should be independent. This means that each of the arguments  should be able to answer the definition with a “…because…” sentence. It is good to have a main idea that connects the  arguments. This is one way of making sure that

 arguments are consistent with each other. This main idea is usually called a team line.

Case Building

Steps of case building (you can change the time if you want):

a.     Brainstorming (5 minutes)

First, debaters could write down anything that they think of when they hear the motion.

 Brainstorming could get lists of arguments, examples, parameters, facts related to the motion,

etc.

b.    Discuss the definition (5 minutes)

When all the ideas have come out, the Affirmative team should decide what the definition

 will be. Make sure that all of the parameters that are needed have been included.

c.     Pick relevant arguments (10 minutes)

After the team talks about the definition, you should decide what arguments are relevant

with this the definition. Don’t put in an argument just because it sounds good.

d.    Determine team line and team split (3 minutes)

After making a definition and choosing arguments, teams should have a main reason

linking these arguments, or a team line, so they don’t contradict each other.

They should also divide the arguments between the 1^st and 2^nd speakers, which is the

team split.

e.     Recap the whole case (2 minutes)

After you have these things decided, a member of the team should sum up the whole case

to make sure that everyone has the same thing in mind.

f.      Individual preparation (5 minutes)

Each speaker should spend some time to prepare their individual speech.

SESSION 2

Time

2 hours

Consists of 3 (three) sub sessions:

1.    Brief Theory on Negative case building (20 mins)

2.    Negative Case building (40 mins)

3.    Q & A (30 mins)

SUBSESSION I

BRIEF THEORY OF NEGATIVE CASE BUILDING

Time

20 minutes

Basically, case building as a Negative team is the same as case building as the Affirmative. The difference is that the Negative doesn’t need to make a definition. They need to try to predict what definition is likely to come up from the motion.

It is also important to know how to negate a motion:

Always add a “NOT” to the motion.

This seems very simple, but could easily be taken for granted.

Steps of case building for negative (time frame not fixed):

a.     Brainstorm individually, the result could be arguments, parameters, examples, etc. (5 min)

b.    Discuss possible definitions that might come up from the motion. Determine the team’s stance or how you will negate the motion.(5 min)

c.     Pick relevant arguments to oppose the possible definitions. (10 min)

d.    Decide on the team line and team split. (3 min)

e.    Recap the whole case. (2 min)

f.      Prepare individual speeches. (5 min)
