On this episode of the Extemper's Bible, I'll take a look at how to frame your question, depending on the exact wording of it. Then, we'll take a look at a few examples and some sample outlines: - What should Pete Buttigieg's biggest priority be as head of the Department of Transportation? - Should the United States withdraw troops from Afghanistan? - Will Iran develop nuclear weapons in the near future? - Is peace possible in Yemen? - How can _____ country grow their economy?
Michael H. Miller has been deeply involved in both high school and college debate since 1965. At the University of Houston (TX), from which he graduated with a B.S.in Political Science in 1970, Michael won first place in more than twenty major college debate tournaments, and was Top Speaker at the National Debate Tournament his senior year. He won the National Professional Debate Tournament in the Summer of 1970 before moving to California. Michael began coaching debate full-time in the Fall of 1970 and, among other achievements, mentored the NDT National Champions of 1971 (UCLA), as well as the high school Lincoln-Douglas National Debate Champion in 1982. He was named the California High School Speech Association "Speech Coach of the Year" for his work at Notre Dame High School in 1982-83, was unanimously elected the University of Houston Forensics Society Hall of Fame in 2007, and was a featured character in the 2008 documentary film, "Debate Team." Michael co-founded Glendale Community College's NFA Lincoln-Douglas debate program in the Fall of 2008. In addition to his debate training, Michael earned his Juris Doctorate degree (J.D.) from the Southwestern University School of Law in 1984, and is a licensed trial attorney. • In this episode, Robert and Michael discuss the changes from tournaments in the 1960s to today, review what Extemp questions were offered back then, and somehow get into the way that politicians debate differently than forensics.
