dancon25 1264 Report post Posted June 22, 2015 20 mins every day, fit it in whenever you can... I mean, nobody knows the rest of your schedule, so just make it happen. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OceanDebater 76 Report post Posted June 22, 2015 Just 5 times a week- it's that easy! Monday: Spread peanut butter & jelly on bread for lunch Tuesday: Spread butter on French bread for dinner. Wednesday: Spread barbeque sauce on ribs for dinner. Thursday: Spread chocolate sauce on waffles for dessert. Friday: Spread cream cheese on bagel for breakfast. 15 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

thatdebateswagtho 37 Report post Posted June 22, 2015 a little frustrated by these responses lol. I'm asking for what I should be doing daily to improve - I know there used to be a word doc of good cards to spread somewhere.. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

backcountryguy 143 Report post Posted June 24, 2015 Read cards you've never read out loud before - don't practice the same cards over and over again. As for exactly what drills you should do, that depends on exactly what you want to improve upon. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As for exactly what drills you should do, that depends on exactly what you want to improve upon. Actually, do spread cards you've spread before, because you'll read those cards, not the ones you don't read... Spread the 1AC and the usual 1NC or whatever Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bammytess 12 Report post Posted July 23, 2015 I spend around 20-30 minutes doing drills. I read one of the positions I written (whether it's an NC or 1AC or an off case) forwards with a pen in my mouth, and then backwards with an insertion between each word, then forwards regularly. Then I use either a friend's position or a file of cards I've cut and do various drills on that. One of my favorite drills to do is read the position twice full speed to build up endurance so you don't get tired out easily, it has helped a lot. One of my lab leaders told us during drills to develop a pace, have a beat to your speech, there shouldn't be uneven speeds unless that's supposed to add something to the performance (but do slow down for tags and author names and anything important.) Hope I helped! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
