come to a speech & debate invitational with me (december 15)

impromptu and declamation Hi everyone! Here's a brief history of my published Speech & Debate tourney wrap-ups: Mini Tournament wrap-up March 2024 Tournament wrap up on April 10th 2024 Tournament wrap-up on May 31st 2024 I'm doing Impromptu and Declamation in this one, and I have hope! I think I prepared well and have a good chance of making finals in both events.  Note: I like to wrap up debate tournaments by writing a reflection, and I decided to publish it on this blog because why not. There might be some debate jargon or confusing bits that only make sense in my head.  after round one declamation So round one just ended, and I think I did really good in declamation.

So there might be some debate jargon or confusing bits that only make sense in my head. I'd like to apologize in advance for that.  So like I said, I'm in a speech round right now, but I already gave my speech. I was speaker 1, and because this is an online tournament, I'm able to write this while other people are talking. Let's jump right in! round one reflections I competed against one of the girls in my round the last tournament I was in , too! What a cool coincidence. I need to start off by saying that all of the people in my room were so good . Out of the 5 other people in my room, I genuinely cannot think of a way to improve 4 of them. They were perfect. The judge...

go to a speech & debate tournament with me!! impromptu + declamation reflections (april 2024)

Hello to the ≈ 3 people who somehow stumbled upon this post (probably while looking for something else, lol). I am currently at a debate competition, and I have some extra free time, so... here I am. Note: This post is mainly for me. I like to wrap up debate tournaments by writing a reflection, and I decided to publish it on this blog because why not. So there might be some debate jargon or confusing bits that only make sense in my head. I'd like to apologize in advance for that.  This post was inspired by this paragraph in my monthly wrap-up for February . table of contents a little bit of context midpoint reflection thoughts right after the finals post-awards ramblings declamation full reflection impromptu full reflection conclusion a little bit of context It's 11:21 am (not pm, lol) as I'm writing this, and I'm between rounds 2 and 3.
