Option 2: Keys to Cross-Examination (reg. $25, order now for $20)

Master cross-examination, advance consistently in competition, and become a better communicator for life.

Cross-examination (“CX” or "cross-ex" for short) is a rewarding tool for debaters. Are you up for the challenge? You have 3 minutes to examine your opponent. Ideas are swirling, questions lingering, and a ballot on the line.

Are your questions organized? Can you deliver them with punch and zest? Will you take the risk and think of questions on the fly? Which questions are the ones you need to win the round?

Enter champion cross-examination. Debate champion Cody Herche gives the keys to mastering this challenging aspect of debate. His revolutionary secrets bring cross-examiners and witnesses beyond a mere understanding of CX to a mentality necessary fornational competition.

“Unlike regular speech time, cross-examination involves a simultaneous interplay of arguments between speakers as pointed questions are answered. A poor performance can doom an argument or an entire team; a good job can breathe new life into a point or otherwise assist in victory.”

Option 3: Red Book Flowsheets (reg. $12.50, order now for $10) 

Flowing a debate round takes diligence and precision, likely the most valuable process to successful debating. Authors of the top debate texts agree: flowing is the #1 note-taking strategy that separates the winners from the losers. It is imperative that you take good notes to flow the arguments. Red Book Flowsheets will help you keep to this winning standard.

Features include:

  • 8.5 x 11 inch vertical flowsheets over two pages give you ample room to keep the speeches flowing
  • Coil Binding keeps your flowsheets neat and orderly
  • 35 vertically run flowsheets to maximize flowing real-estate
  • Date and Ownership Label to help keep your flowsheets in one place
  • Standard System of flowing helps you compare flows with your partner, club members, and your coach
  • How to Flow introductory page helps new debaters, lay judges, and coaches to flow properly

Debaters, the orderliness of your notes will help standardize your rounds to keep improving. Plus, you'll have a book to keep in your files, rather than a bunch of messy legal pads.
