Rd. 3 Ayaina vs. Clayton (mav.) NEG

Ayaan, 1AC CX: you should have follow-up questions to clayton’s questions. 2NC: Structure your speech around the 2AC arguments. “They say X” but “Y”; Avoid “underviews” to cards, make your card-applications //in the tag of the card .// CX: don’t concede that states are funded by the USFG, they have other revenue sources, i.e. taxes, etc. 2NR: a good speech. Good idea in emphasizing the conceded federalism scenario. ). You’ve got to close the doors though. You need to address the devolution=racism argument (and answer it in the block). You also don’t answer the link turn on the elections disad, which can also come back to bite you. Also, make your impacts comparative to the possible solvency deficits on the CP. Since you’ve conceded a few solvency takeouts on States, you’re not going to win that it solves 100% of case, so you’ve got to make sure to leverage what you **do** solve against the net benefits.

7/1/12 - Need to be more efficient - you're making all the right smart arguments, but you need to separate arguments and make them more flowable. Put the words you want the judge to flow at the beginning of an argument and then give warrants. Instead of "They didn't answer that states are racist, and if states are racist, they can't solve, and they can't fix that white people will get jobs ahead of black people" you should say "Can't solve - they conceded racism. States will always enforce racist practices, which means they can never solve equity" - Pause between arguments  7/5/12   7/11--Sarah Aff v. Dua/Ayaan Neg --Baxter  Ayaan—don’t talk too much in the cx of the 1NC, when you are going to be doing this argument in the whole block, you need to let Dua appear credible as well—there is an implied masking link in the 1NC that I think you should bring out in the block stronger—its not just that no one wants to talk about white supremacy, but that we ACTIVELY PREVENT talking about it—connect the economy to the idea of slavery, the idea is getting people around to their jobs so they can contribute to an economy that fundamentally serves the interests of a white rich male interest—really powerful conclusion to the 2NC, make sure that is thematized as well—try not to laugh as much at the Obama argument, even though you are obviously correct on the argument—start with the overall neg argument, debate should be about the performative liberation of the oppressed—talk about the goals of her framework as well, and why yours accesses them better, policy making better—
 * **#1 thing to work on: Efficiency **
 * Work on enunciation and clarity in the 1AC
 * You’re doing a great job in cross-x explaining the education advantage—you sound confident and passionate
 * Remember to look at me when asking cross-x questions
 * <span style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Your cross-x questions are all really good
 * <span style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Good prep time allocation
 * <span style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Whoops, dropped the DA in the 1AR. 1AR time allocation will help immensely. Part of the problem is that you are rearticulating their arguments for them when you should merely be referencing them. Fix that problem and I bet you will add a minute onto your speech. You’re making good arguments but you just need to make them more efficiently.
