For all debaters who are involved in the DAV D Grade competition, here are some tips of how your case should be set up.
With this we will relate this to the Round 4 topic of: That the internet does more harm than good.

2ND SPEAKERS:
The more we are on-line, the more we will decline. (Try to start the debate with a Time Line. It is a critical part of debating to show that as a team you link together)
Hi, I'm the 2nd speaker of the affirmative team tonight, and I am here to argue the case that the internet is doing more harm than good.
(Standard Introduction)
But before I go further into my teams case, I would like to point out the flaws of the opposition case. (Rebuttal is essential as a second speaker and at least 2 - 3 points must be looked at)
Tonight, I, the 2nd speaker will be looking at the - how easy children can get into problems on the internet, and also be looking at cases which relate to this issue. (Standard Split, good to refresh memory of adjudicator what you will be talking about)
Tonight my 1st point is the problems that are created through using the internet........(From here go into detail of points. Debaters who start each point like this gather marks in sign posting. As a second speaker try to include as many stats and evidence as possible that relate to the topic - ie. 35 % of paedophile cases relate to the internet)
The more we are on-line, the move we will decline. (Included the team line between points, makes your case easier to follow)
Tonight I have talked about....... (After all your points are completed it is always a good idea to summarise your points briefly, which reminds the adjudicator what you have tonight)
The more we are on-line, the move we will decline. (Always finish with the team line)
