Hello Coaches,

You are cordially invited to the Canterbury Middle School Speech Tournament! 

We are limiting teams to 50 entries overall and the total size of the tournament to 200 entries.  

 

Entries are due by Wednesday November 29th at noon.  Only name changes and drops will be accepted. All registration will be done on Speechwire.com.  Please text last minute drops to coach Kevin Torwelle ASAP at 260.446.6792

 

Entry limits: 7 per event for a total of 50 entries per team. No student may enter more than 2 events.

 

Doubling: A student may not double in Debate.  All others double at their own risk. Double-entered students are responsible for getting to both events during rounds. While judges will be made aware of double entered students on their ballots, students should still inform their judges that they are double entered.

 

Judges: Please bring one judge for every five entries or fraction thereof (6 entries = 2 judges).  Extra judges are always welcome.  

All events will have three rounds, except debate, which will have 4.

All events will follow IHSFA Middle School Event Rules

 

Discussion: The questions for discussion are below:

Topic: Technology

For each of the following questions, consider:

What is the nature of the problem? How should various actors (e.g. government, private organization, individuals) be involved?

Round 1: Does virtual reality have a place in education or the workplace? How do you think these tools will evolve in our lives?
Round 2: Does artificial intelligence help or hinder creativity in art? What are the ethical considerations for using AI to create art? How do AI tools like image creation change the workflow of creative people?
Round 3: What are the implications of manufacturing being increasingly automated? Will this cause jobs to disappear, or will they be shifted to other areas?
