Your affirmative case needs to
include the following:
First, at the top, include a one
paragraph explanation of the case.
Include:
·
An
explanation of the problem and how the plan would solve the problem.
·
Tips on
how to argue the case, respond to disadvantages and topicality arguments and
any other pertinent information.
Second, include the Plan and Case.
The Plan should include:
·
The
mandates--the actions needed to solve the problem
·
The
logistics--the funding, board, enforcement to ensure the mandates go into
action.
The Case should use:
·
Outline
organization
·
Two to
three word titles for each section of the case like “Mexican Economy Collapse”
followed by a thesis statement explaining that section of the case
·
Any
reasonable case structure--comparative advantage, needs-plan, goals, etc.
·
Strong
significance, inherency and solvency arguments
Third, include the Backup Briefs in
order by stock issue as follows:
·
Significance
briefs
·
Inherency
briefs
·
Solvency
briefs
·
Disadvantage
Responses
·
Counterplan
Responses
·
Topicality
Responses
Fourth, index the backup briefs
Your goal is to prepare
responses to each of the arguments you expect other teams to present. You need to answer the main
scenarios/sections of each affirmative case you are assigned to research. Again, we strongly urge case turns--but also
consider arguments that show the plan won’t solve the problem, the problem is
not significant or is declining, or that other actions would be better to solve
the problem.
