Toulmin's Affirmative Presumption -Debate Final Exam Spring 2010

My senior year argumentation course final project/exam.
----------
Lyrics:

Verse 1
I deserve a 100 on the final exam.
My data is Ive done well all semester
My warrant is I sat in the front
I even asked thoughtful questions during lecture

Bridge 1
An unintended negative consequence is called a disadvantage.
I remember that because I missed that question on the first quiz.
Heres my Burden of Proof

Chorus 1
Now I know if you dont have all 5 stock issues
Theres no way youll win a debate
But, if you do you have prima facie
Which are the components to keep going

Verse 2
I deserve a 100 on the final exam.
My evidence is because this song is awesome.
I know this is true because this song has
debate terminology enthusiastically incorporated into it.

Bridge 2
The disadvantage has three components to it
First Uniqueness Second Link Third Impact is like the implications
Heres my Burden of Proof

Chorus 2
Now I know the NPDA is like PKD
And the NPTE is like AFA
If you want to Cross-Ex someone in daily life
You better avoid open ended questions

Guitar Solo

Bridge 3
Heres my Burden of Proof

Chorus 3
Now I know argument is a language based
social phenomenon
There are two dimensions - ones inquiry
And the others advocacy
Now I can pick up girls at Lunkers
And talk about the Normative school of thought
Thanks Donny! Its been real but I gotta go
And now worry about student teaching

Outro
If this song was ineffective then I dont know what a good debate final project looks like.
Restate my claim
I deserve a 100
