how do i wite a 2nd speaker debating speech?
- Thread starter Kay
- Start date
Grr dont you hate debates im doing one now but on a different subject though im third.
Second speaker
Open your speech by adressing the chairperson and audiance
Rebut the argument stated by the opposing team
Stress the central argument of your side (affirmative or negative)
Present atleas 2 examples to support your argument
close your speech with direction and purpose
It should be a 2-3 min speech with 1min of rebutals
This was a sheet my english teacher gave to me
Hope this helped

Well if it is a debate then there will always be some leeway based on what points are brought up. But you could use Monro's motivated sequence to base your structure a bit, depending on the length. I.
ATTENTION STEP: Get the attention or your audience. This can be done with a detailed story, shocking example, dramatic statistic, quote, etc. This is part or your introduction (in addition to stating your thesis, giving a preview of your main points, mentioning your credibility, and telling your audience why the topic is of concern to them).
II. NEED STEP: Show the problem exists, that it is a significant problem, and that it won't go away by itself. Document your statements with statistics, examples, etc.
III. SATISFACTION STEP: Offer solutions for the problem you have shown exists in the Need Step. These are solutions that the government or society as a whole can implement. You must satisfy the need.
IV. VISUALIZATION STEP: Tell us what will happen if we don't do something about the problem. Be graphic.
V. ACTION STEP: Offer alternatives to your audience that they can do personally to help solve the problem you have shown exists. Again, be very specific and very realistic.
VI. CONCLUSION: Motivate us to get out and do something! Wrap up loose ends by giving a review of points and restating your thesis, and then conclude the speech.
