Practice Rounds Begin

Students began the day meeting with their labs to go over final case revisions and hold drills before the official practice rounds began at 11am. Today two practice rounds were held where students were fully critiqued and given ways to improve. Also, all students sat in on rounds they weren't debating, so they had the opportunity to hear multiple cases and suggestions for improvement from the judges. In addition, students chose between electives today before they recessed for dinner. After dinner, Article Groups met and discussed Peter Singer's writing on the obligations to aid others which the students easily tied to the Workshop topic. The night ended with a lecture on Tournament Preparation given by Aaron Timmons and time for students to work on their cases for three more practice rounds tomorrow.
