The last word (summary of key points)
*The last word – speakers

The first speaker for the affirmative side has the last word (see diagram in student handout 8.2).

Then the speaker for the negative side follows. The team chooses a member to do this, but not their first speaker, as he/she would then receive a two-minute block, which would be unfair on the other team.
