The key to winning debates isn't found in boxes and boxes of evidence, a "flawless" case, or being lucky enough to win the judge's favor. The key to winning is in strategy, which is exactly what this book covers in detail. Within these pages, you will learn how to:

* Develop negative strategies that attack the best cases 
* Formulate cross-examination questions that cripple opponents 
* Answer cross-examination questions to turn judges to your favor 
* Leverage the rules of academic debate to your advantage 
* Gather evidence that builds, supports and defends your arguments 
Every chapter includes a teacher's outline, questions for discussion, and student preparation helps. Along with modified chapters, Vance includes an additional chapter on choosing and utilizing sourcebooks. Academic debaters who are serious about winning their competitions will be just as serious about owning a copy of Strategic Debate, 2nd Edition. 
The sound advice and proven tactics in Strategic Debate is certain to provide the needed tools for building a champion debater. In the spirit of Training Minds Ministry, Strategic Debate provides the apparatus that will "train the mind for action" — for debate rounds as well as the world.

Pelland, Dave

The National Monument to the Forefathers, in Plymouth, Massachusetts, was dedicated in 1889 to honor the religious pilgrims who helped to settle land that would become the United States, as well as the core values — faith, morality, trust in law, education, and liberty — guided the settlers as they established their community. The largest solid granite monument in the United States, the Forefathers Monument stands as a tribute to the founders, and the beliefs that inspired their journey across the ocean and provided a foundation for the society they created in the New World.
