Tips for the final speaker (conclusion)

To conclude a debate, you can:

Restate your thesis: Review your main claim and the reasons you've
used to support it.

Emphasize your arguments: Highlight the strength of your arguments


and the evidence that supports your position.

Address objections: Refute or undermine any opposing arguments or


evidence.

Provide additional evidence: Offer new arguments or evidence to


strengthen your position.

Acknowledge limitations: Address any potential concerns, doubts, or


questions.

End with a call to action: Invite your audience to do something or think


about something related to your topic.

Use a quotation: A well-chosen quotation can provide a graceful ending


and help crystallize the audience's thinking.

After the debate, the adjudicator will give feedback and announce the
winning team. You should say "thank you" and sit silently unless the
adjudicator asks you a question.
