ANNA CROWSON
Anna Crowson competed in NCFCA speech and
debate for two short and very successful years. By nature not a
debater, she quickly saw the value of gaining the skills of
argumentation, critical thinking, and rhetoric to equip her to
stand for the Truth. In her first year of competition, she won the
regional championship in Team Policy Debate, and in the following
season, she earned fourth place at the National Tournament in
Lincoln-Douglas Value Debate.
Anna competed in two NCFCA National Tournaments in both styles of
debate and four speech events. Her debate accomplishments include
winning both Team Policy and Lincoln-Douglas Value Debate state
and regional championships, placing fourth in Lincoln-Douglas
Value Debate at Nationals in 2003, and earning a top speaker award
at every tournament in which she competed. In speech, Anna is a
two-time National Semifinalist in Extemporaneous, a five-time
state and regional tournament champion in Impromptu, a National
semifinalist in Open Interpretation and, at Nationals in 2002,
Anna earned fifth place in Impromptu and sixth place in Original
Oratory.
Anna was selected to be a member of the 2003-2004 Communicators
for Christ touring internship team. Notably, while on tour, Anna
co-developed the first ever CFC value debate track. In 2004-2005,
Anna was the Value Debate Coach for CCWT/FOCUS in Memphis, TN.
Having benefited tremendously from her experiences in NCFCA, Anna
has authored a number of books for students and parent coaches,
including: The
Extemporaneous Handbook,
LD
Exercises and Drills, Value
Debate Research: Parent/Coach Manual,
Policy
Debate Research: Parent/Coach Manual,
and two debate research Student Workbooks - one for
policy
debaters and one for LD
value debaters. From time to time,
you'll find her judging debate and limited preparation speeches at
tournaments across the nation. She judged at Nationals 2005 in San
Diego, and plans to attend Nationals this year in Virginia as a
book vendor and judge. Outside of speech and debate, Anna enjoys
swing dancing, star-gazing, and singing in the rain.
