The Days Are Just Packed

In the past few days, labs have been working on case revision and argument blocking.  After the first few practice rounds, students went over specific problems that were plaguing them in round.  Jackie Allgayer, Laura Rau, and Rahim Sayani  all chose to explore the concept of a narrative and how to use one in a round.  Sean Martin educated the lab on biopower while David McGough addressed his issues with issue selection (pun intended). David Wolfish started to educate the lab on the types of policy arguments that were infiltrating LD.  So far, the lab has gone over topicality, kritiks, value-inclusive counter plans, conditionality, and theory arguments.  As the workshop tournament begins, students are hard at work editing cases, creating blocks, and practicing rebuttals.
