WSDC 2018 – England vs USA – Speaker 1 Proposition Analysis:
Speaker 1, the opener of a WSDC debate, is vital in setting the tone and structure of the rest of the debate. England’s speaker 1 in the debate began powerfully with a real life example that would resonate throughout the debate. This effortlessly flowed into his team stance, burden of proof and case division. It is this type of interesting introduction that deviates from the traditional structure of a 1st speech, providing a unique insight into his style. This unique approach may be something you consider incorporating into your own speech. The speaker uses imagery to convey the practical impacts of the motion, which is very effective in providing the judge with a visual image of the destructive consequences of implementing the policy.
