Students have been in teaching presentations all morning and afternoon about counterplans. The structure of CDI has changed (for those of you familiar with the old structure) so the students spend time learning about positions in one large chunk rather than spread out over a few days. Dispersed throughout teaching presentations are practicums so that students get more hands on skills with students of the same level working on their new knowledge for one segment of counterplans or disads or whatever the specific session is about. After spending most of the day learning about counterplans, students will get to here from the lab leaders about judging paradigms.
This afternoon during alternative use time is the first student vs. staff basketball games. The staff is expecting to win. If yesterday's push-up challenge is any indication it will be a decisive victory (Aneesh Sohoni beat Trevor A. from Edina by at least 25 push-ups in a 60 second timeframe).
Tonight is the start of the 2nd Annual Bob Groven Tournament. This is a four round tournament with a final round judged by Chris McDonald, Fred Sternhagen and the kernels. Guest judges are coming in for what looks to be some fairly decent debates since students have had the evidence for a week. This tournament has been dedicated to Bob Groven for his years of service to the educational opportunities and curriculum design at the Concordia Summer Debate Institute.
Check out the push-up contest pictures over at flickr. There should be some basketball pictures sometime tomorrow.
