Debate is a process that involves formal discourse, discussion, and oral addresses on a particular topic or collection of topics, often with a moderator and an audience. In a debate, arguments are put forward for common opposing viewpoints.
Debates have historically occurred in public meetings, academic institutions, debate halls, coffeehouses, competitions, and legislative assemblies. Debate has also been conducted for educational and recreational purposes, usually associated with educational establishments and debating societies.
These debates emphasized logical consistency, factual accuracy, and emotional appeal to an audience. Modern forms of competitive debate also include rules for participants to discuss and decide upon the framework of the debate (how the debate will be judged).
Reply speeches are the only four-minute-long speech in World Schools. These speeches are meant to summarize the events that happened in the round and explain why your team won the debate. The goal of the reply is not to make any new arguments. All of the argument construction should have happened earlier in the debate. That said, the prop reply should seek to answer any new content from the opp block.
The reply speech should “write the ballot” for the judge. A good template to follow for completing the reply speech is to cover the principle debate followed by the practical debate. You can also sub-segment the two types of debate out via topic (i.e. you can cover who won the econ debate, who won the foreign policy debate, et cetera.) Overall, the reply speech should take a big-picture approach to summarizing the round, while avoiding getting into the nitty-gritty questions of the round.
