After definitions, the 1st proposition speaker can bring up plans or ways to implement their side of the topic.
Next, the speaker lists out his or her arguments. There should be about 4-5 depending on the length of your plan and definition. The points should have sufficient evidence, and these are always your strongest points.
Lastly, and this may or may not occur, opponents may heckle you or ask POIs during the 1st and 4th minute of your speech. An average speaker takes about 1-2 POIs per speech, but a great speaker will take 1 or none.
*Always make sure you fill your five minutes. It reflects poorly if you don't.
