   TrueFalse

3. 3. The best way to use necessary jargon with a lay judge is to:

   Briefly translate it the first time it's usedAvoid it completely, even basic terms like weighingAssume the judge already knows itOnly use it during Final Focus

4. 4. Signposting primarily helps the judge:

   Skip CrossfireLocate where a response belongs on their flowDetermine who won the coin flipKnow when prep time is used

5. 5. True or False?

   "Hostile or sarcastic tone toward an opponent typically helps a debater's credibility with lay judges."

   TrueFalse

6. 6. A 'roadmap' at the start of a speech is used to:

   Replace the need for a tag lineAnnounce the winner of the coin flipEnd the speech earlyPreview the order of material that will be covered

Take a jargon-heavy argument and rewrite it twice: once with signposting and once with a plain-language analogy.
