Tossup Writing Video

Post by naan/steak-holding toll »

I made a quick video showing the writing of a basic tossup which hopefully provides a quick and useful overview of the criteria which make a tossup good, the mechanics of finding good sources and thinking about themes, etc.

No promises that the tossup is good, but I think it's the sort of thing which an editor wouldn't mind seeing in a submitted packet - simple, appropriate answerline with thoughtfully chosen clues.
