Paradigm

Wendy Schauben
American Heritage Palm Beach

I am an assistant coach at American Heritage Palm Beach and served previously as a director for four years. I have both speech and debate experience.

PF

I can flow the round fairly well and prefer for you to be explicit with your contentions and impacts when you state them. Please make it clear what I should be writing down and striking from the flow as well as why any arguments have been dropped from the round. I do not consider questioning as part of the debate. If your opponent made an error in questioning, it must be addressed in later speeches. I can handle some speed.

Congress

I enjoy when competitors follow the debate on the floor, create interesting conversations, and ask hard-hitting questions. I think structure and organization to your speech are vital; use signposts in your delivery so I know what your impacts are.
