The Secrets & Science of Persuasion in Lincoln‐Douglas Debate ‐ by Jennifer Dziura
What's the secret behind how some debaters seem to win every round, even though their arguments aren't that different from everyone else's? What does neuroscience show about why people (i.e., judges) change their minds? What do you do when your opponent seems intimidatingly perfect? This booklet is for debaters who already know the basics of, and have 1‐2 years experience in, value debating. This is the top‐secret manual to turn good case writing and argumentation into an undefeated record.
"Incredibly helpful and humorous! A hands‐down winner!"

Written by Nationally Known Comic and Genius
Jennifer Dziura was the 1995 and 1996 Lincoln‐Douglas champion of Virginia, represented her district in the NHL Nationals in both Lincoln‐Douglas and foreign extempora‐neous speaking, and went on to captain the Parliamentary Debate Team at Dartmouth College. She has judged Lincoln‐Douglas, C‐X, and parliamentary debate, and is the author of a booklet entitled "Dewar's Guide

She is also author or co‐author of over a dozen educational books, has entertained the troops in the Middle East as a standup comedian, and has appeared as a "genius" in television pilots for SyFy and National Geographic. She runs an adult spelling bee in Brooklyn, NY, and has spoken at Harvard, Yale, and other universities about designing your own career, networking, and forging your own path to success.

GET ANY TEST FOR LE$$ Can't make the meet? Take any official Hexco invitational test at your own school just 2 weeks later!*
NEW Classroom Invitationals give teachers and coaches the opportunity to administer tests used in any 2014-15 Hexco UIL meet -- in their very own classroom! Especially useful for 'extra' annual topic testing and ideal for students who are aiming toward mastery, Classroom Invitationals provide a more affordable way to "keep up" with your peer schools without having to attend every meet. How it works: Classroom Invitationals are the same tests that are given on any of our 12 official test dates, but are sent to you two weeks later to keep tests used for hosted meets still unique and unseen. Classroom invitationals can be administered to students at your own school only at the convenience of the teacher or coach and answer keys are included. Just one word of caution, please make sure that a test that you are buying is not one that you took at a prior meet, well, unless you just want your own copy to use later -- this is okay too! So, enjoy, and no sharing with other schools please! We can continue to help stretch your budgets if you kindly abide by our copyright rules, which helps us pay our outstanding team of experienced writers.
*Grade your own tests; not a meet, for individual school practice only to help offset costs for budgetary needs. For use by purchasing school (not ISD) only, not for hosted meets. If you are hosting a meet, please use the dates on our order form schedule, otherwise you risk that your test has already been seen.
