Mr. Hauger’s Five Keys to Winning Debate

 

You LOSE if

You WIN if

 

You don’t listen

You get angry

You get ugly

You get off track

You’re unorganized

You listen AND cite faults

You keep your cool

You stay respectful

You stay focused

You sign-post

 

Move from left (losing) to right (winning) by following the 5 keys!

 

Listening critically (not just waiting to speak) will give you fuel to respond effectively.

Staying composed displays your logical strength better than the volume of your voice.

Respectful people are viewed favorably by judges and the audience. Stay cool!

When you’re focused, you won’t be distracted by shiny distractions. Stay on topic.

Point out and order the opposition’s arguments, then take them down point by point.
