Greetings all.

As you all finish writing blocks for everyone in the class, here is checklist. This will not cover every block you will want to write, but it should get you started on getting things organized.

When writing blocks, remember to write in an argument that uses evidence already read to help with the argument.

AT = answers to, so this block is used to answer the argument.

ext = extension block

When writing 1n blocks vs. the stock issues, make sure you also write extension blocks for as many of the individual 1N arguments as you can

AFF: all

1AC with intro, timed to fit within 8 minutes

1AC preflowed

ext on sig for each advantage area

ext on solvency for each area

AT topicality

AT a DA that argues increasing relations with Europe is bad

IRAQ

AT oil DA

AT NATO bad

Farm Bill

AT subsidy cuts hurt the economy

a block that says only Big farmers are helped

AT: ethanol DA

AT: Water DA

 

NEG (for AT various sig and solvency scenarios, you should have a separate block for each one)

AT: A Turkey Greece Aff, including:

AT various significance scenarios (Cyrpus, T/G conflict, Nagorno/Karabach, Turkey's strategic importance, the Caucasus, etc.),

AT: Iraq aff, including:

AT sig scenarios (Islamic backlash, death, US precipitate withdrawl, US-EU relations)
