Class Description
This class will give a taste of debate to students who are interested in trying it for the first time to those who want to hone their existing skills. We will work on the fundamentals of debate, including research, developing arguments, writing cases, practice debates, drills, and more! This class will prepare students to succeed on their teams and in competitions during the school year, though participation on an official debate team is not required. This class is the perfect constructive outlet for students who love to argue and who love to learn new skills!
