WORKSHEETS
These are the mentor's print-ready worksheets: fuller versions for mentor reference, overflow, and any student who wants more room. Each carries a red "Print this" banner naming the sheet and how many copies to run. These are fuller than the student §9 tear-outs. When you need an exact copy of what a student already has (an extra Evidence Map for an absent juror), print that from the Student Binder §9 so the juror gets the same sheet.
HOW TO USE
THESE SHEETS
Cheat sheet for this pad: Arms Room → Unit Cover · Forge → your role sheet · Tavern → Reflection + Story Layer. Everyone keeps Bench prep ready.
- Monday night: open the Week-by-Week Guide, know this week's session and what to read.
- Arms Room week: fill Unit Cover after role assignment. Start ACTOR Log if you want nightly structure.
- Forge week: pull one role sheet (Moderator / Debater / Researcher / Jury). Everyone also has Bench Prep ready.
- Before the U1 Forge: submit Sunday, Sept 27, 10:00 AM, by the locally declared course channel or paper handoff. Later units follow their printed deadline band.
- Tavern week: Forge Reflection (the argument) + Story Layer Draft (you, 5 years out). Not the same document.

Unit Cover · 2 of 4
Unit Cover · quotes 2 and 3. More evidence; still trunk, not leaves.
Unit Cover · 3 of 4
Unit Cover · blade, shield, range. Your opening, your answer to them, what you cannot cover.
Unit Cover · 4 of 4

Opened and read ☐

Debater · 5 of 5
Debater · live notes. What they targeted tells you what to rebut or close.
EVIDENCE PACKET
Ammunition for both sides. Four verified pieces (2 Aff, 2 Neg). Send to debaters by the prep deadline. Neutrality is your superpower.
Researcher · 1 of 3
Researcher · Negative evidence. Same neutrality: document gaps if you cannot find sources.
Researcher · 2 of 3
Researcher · after-action. What evidence correlated with changed minds?
Researcher · 3 of 3
JURY WORKSHEET

Jury · vote 2 of 2
BENCH PREP
The debate never cancels. Everyone preps both sides every unit. If called in, expand what you already wrote: 2 minutes, claim → evidence → impact.
If called: claim → evidence → impact · 2 min
FORGE REFLECTION
About the argument, not you, not the book report. Criterion: name one claim, cite the evidence that changed or failed to change its force, and answer the strongest counter. Student keeps this original; mentor initials a duplicate or named custody checklist. Not the Story Layer.
STORY LAYER
Choose one: ☐ private first-person ☐ third-person / case-based ☐ non-personal trait analysis. Every route requires a clear trait claim, specific choice, consequence, and cost.
5yr ☐ nirvana ☐ no how ☐
Story Layer · 1 of 3
Story Layer · draft continued. Continue the route selected on page one: private first-person, third-person/case-based, or non-personal trait analysis. Sharing is optional and requires consent; mentors assess the same trait reasoning, choice, consequence, and cost in every route.
Story Layer · 2 of 3
Story Layer · finish the chosen private first-person, third-person/case-based, or non-personal route and name the cost. Every route carries the same evidence value; personal disclosure is never required.
Not the debate question.
Story Layer · 3 of 3
ACTOR LOG
Nightly reading loop: five minutes. Skip a step, you skipped the loop.
ACTOR · 1 of 3
ACTOR · 2 of 3
Night 5 = review before Arms Room. C: Compress what made it in: do not full re-read.
