Pro Con Challenge (High School Division)

Event Description:

Description: Students select the current (September/October 2022) for CX, LD, or PF (or the September 2022 NSDA Congressional docket) and write a 3-5 minute affirmative speech and a 3-5 minute negative speech on that topic. This event allows students to explore debate topics in a new and exciting way while showing off their writing, research, and delivery skills. There are a number of choices that competitors are free to make with regard to the structure of their Pro Con speeches. For example, they may run a plan if they chose the CX topic, but no particular structure is required. During their con case, they may refute their pro case, but it is not required. It is important to remember that these speeches will be judged against any of the given topic areas all in one round. Judges will evaluate the structure, arguments, evidence, and speaking abilities of each competitor and rank them against each other.
