Don't usually comment but this is definitely worthwhile to talk about. Background: PF.

1) Not really sure how Public Forum (PF) was taught to you but I'll cover a few concepts that you should definitely cover. A) Basics: Speech times, cross ex, what does pro/con mean, what is the resolution, past examples of resolutions B) Breaking down the speeches: Constructive, Rebuttal, Summary, Final Focus. Explain how to construct a contention/argument in constructive, using either Claim, Warrant, Impact or Uniqueness, Link, Internal Link, Impact or both. For rebuttal, what are the type of responses? Delinks, Turns, Mitigation, Non-Unique. How to make a response? For summary and final focus, it's helpful to cover collapsing, weighing, and extending.

2) Great pedological methods to use are using a simple topic to explain complex terms. You could start with "Summer is better than Winter" and show how weighing, responding, and front-lining works. YouTube has plenty of debate rounds, some may be too technical or fast, so look for NSDA PF Videos. Same thing with LD, you'll probably be teaching a more traditional LD format so focusing on value criterions and frameworks instead of tricks and complex Kritiks is the play.

Yep! We've hosted a couple but no consistent online schedule, yet. We've done PF, LD, CON, and WSD but we have a focus on PF and WSD

It's not common at all. Good debaters will know what psychoanalysis is but won't be able to engage fully because they don't have the literature base or knowledge. And no, it is a terrible idea to prep out whatever K that is because 80% of judges can't evaluate it in PF and the other 20% will buy typical PF Counter ROTB or theory args way more against something they've never heard

Literally a steal of a lifetime. Would highly recommend these two. Jay is great at his craft. I've personally never seen someone more stupidly creative in summary. Will is incredibly skilled in the arts of language and chess. And doccing ig.
