You have a great speaking voice! For the 2NC, try to start on the DA with a DA overview. Try to explain what the DA says in your own words, and then try to do some impact calculus comparing the DA impact with the aff. Avoid reading cards unless they are necessary. I think a better block split would be to have your partner take the CP and one DA, and you take the other DA and case. On the CP, work on line by line. Try to implement a system of saying "They say ___ but,__ ___" to answer their arguments. In the 2NR, pick one DA and explain it fully with an impact overview. Explain how the aff causes the impact and why it outweighs. In this 2NR, you should explain what "they create more waste" and how that interacts with the aff! Great job.

Practice Debate 6/24:

1AC: This was fast and clear. Good job. I think you could work on speaking a little louder but overall sounds great. I think instead of the underview of the 1AC you should add more cards to the 1AC, maybe read the energy advantage or add more 2AC cards to your speech.

CX: Nice job eating up their cross-ex time. Good job pushing him in cross-ex about global warming, you got him into a good spot on the counterplan not resolving climate change.

1AR: I think that for energy poverty you can focus more on the moral aspect than the utilitarian "everybody dies" explanation. Good analysis on the China disad, if you get the time to write up answers into a block your 1AR will go a lot faster as will your prep for it. I think you can do a little more in depth analysis on the counterplan, I would maybe just spend a little more time here in the 1AR so that the 2NR feels more pressure. I think if you clarify the main points you need to make on each flow it will help make your 1AR's a little more powerful, you sound great when you are giving speeches now you just need to push it over the edge!
