After an eventful day yesterday of topicality, bad weather and delicious pitas and pizza the students are back on the research train today. This morning students learned about the techniques and nuances of constructing affirmatives. They then went to a lecture that discussed standard block writing approaches and standard answers to have on blocks.
For the rest of the day students are back in the library or computer labs researching and developing the starter positions. Tuesday night is evidence deadline number 2 with counterplans, affirmatives and disads needing to be completed. New assignments start on Wednesday.
Goodbye Chris: Chris McDonald, Director of Debate at Eagan High School and MDTA President, will leave us after a week at CDI. His planned departure has him heading down south for a speech camp in Florida. We appreciate all the hard work Chris has done over the last week giving approximately 15 teaching sessions, working with students, watching rounds, running the Bob Groven Tournament and generally being the predictable asset that he is to the institute. Thanks, Chris!
