    How to Prepare for a Debate

    Once you’ve selected your debate topic, the next step is to prepare for your debate.
    Follow these steps as you get ready to take the podium.

    Read Your Evidence

    The most important step to building your debate confidence is to familiarize yourself
    with the evidence available. You’ll want to select reputable sources and use empirical
    data effectively.

    The more well read on your topic you are, the better you’ll be able to defend your
    position and anticipate the other side’s arguments.

    Anticipate the Other Side’s Arguments

    As part of your debate, you’ll need to rebut the other side’s arguments. It’s important to
    prepare ahead of time to guess what they’ll be talking about. You’ll bolster your own
    side’s argument if you’re able to effectively dismantle what the other side is saying.

    Plan to Fill Your Speech Time

    Each speaker at a debate is limited to a certain amount of time. You should plan to
    use every second of the time that you’re allotted. Make sure you practice your talking
    points so that you know you’re within the time frame. If you’re short, add in more
    evidence.

    Practice to Build Confidence

    It can be scary to take the stage for a debate! Practicing ahead of time will help you
    build confidence. Remember to speak slowly and clearly. Even if your argument is
    great, it won’t matter if no one can understand it.
