In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Make sure the wood screws you use are long enough to pierce both pieces of two-by-four at each corner. Use a power drill to ensure that the ends are firmly locked together. Create the square piece of plywood to fit beneath the square frame. Use the frame to trace the cutting lines directly onto your plywood. Cut the plywood once you have measured the shape. Simply flip the nicer side of the frame downwards (if applicable), place the plywood on top, and screw down through the plywood into the two-by-fours. Make sure your screws aren't too short for the plywood or too long for the two-by-fours. First, place the carpet right-side-up in the box to make sure it fits snugly within the square frame. Then, place the PVC pipe in the center of the carpet; you may have to twist it back and forth a few times as you press it into the hole (or even lift the carpet and insert it from the back) to get it all the way through. Finally, insert the saved circle of carpet into the center of the PVC pipe. Make adjustments as necessary. Do this in the same order in which you test-assembled the pieces. Let the glue set for the amount of time recommended on the bottle. For additional stability, use finishing nails and a punch to nail the carpet to the plywood base. When applying construction adhesive, be sure to press the the PVC pipe and carpet firmly together. You may also use 1' L brackets or a 4" toilet flange to firmly set the PVC pipe.
Summary: Screw the square frame together. Measure and cut a piece of square plywood. Screw the square of plywood to the bottom of the square frame. Assemble the carpet and PVC pipe inside the wooden box to test the fit. Glue the carpet and PVC pipe to the wooden frame.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Use a permanent marker to do this. The mark will indicate where you need to cut the pipe. Make sure the circumference of the pipe is large enough so that the top of the soda bottle can fit inside. You can purchase PVC pipe from your local hardware store. The cone side of the bottle should be pointed toward the ceiling at this point. Check to see that the opening of the bottle inside the PVC pipe is not touching the ground. The PVC pipe should be propping the bottle up off of the ground. If the opening of the bottle is touching the ground, then you will need to cut a larger piece of PVC pipe.
Summary: Mark a spot 5 inches (13cm) from the end of a PVC pipe. Place the opening of the bottle inside the PVC pipe.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: The scoring rubric should break potential points into several categories. Award points for each category based on the notes you took during the debate. Typical categories for assessment ask you consider if the competitor: Directly addressed the topic. Understood the basic issue. Clearly explained their position. Made a convincing case, complete with specific evidence. Explained the other side's weaknesses. Responded directly to the other side's critique. Used appropriate body language, volume, speed, and diction. Was courteous to the other side. Competitors and schools look to your feedback as a way to learn and coach participants. As a judge, you should model decorum, courtesy, and clarity when writing your feedback. The language of your feedback should also be inclusive. For example: Avoid feedback like "The competitor's presentation was boring and seemed pointless. It seems to me like they've never even studied the basics of American government." Instead, offer the critique more constructively: "For future debates, I recommend focusing on making delivery more animated to underscore main points. A review of Congressional argumentation procedure may also be useful." Likewise, avoid unnecessary exclusions of gender, age, and other aspects of identity. For example, rephrase "I always advise a young competitor that he should should observe experienced competitors in action" as "I always advise participants to closely observe other competitors in action." After you have completed scores for each category of the rubric, you can tally up to get the final score. Determine the winner according to the highest score. Double-check that your feedback is complete, and turn the ballots in to the tournament organizer. Keep in mind that the organizer may also ask you to give an oral critique or to disclose the results.
Summary:
Check the rubric against your flow sheet. Style your feedback consciously. Complete the ballot and turn it in.
