Introduction to Debate

Should we have school dress codes? Should students be assigned homework? This course explores debate, teaching students how to support their ideas and argue effectively. Debate is a fun, engaging way for students to practice public speaking, develop sound logic and reasoning skills, and build confidence and self-esteem. Students will learn to express their opinions assertively and respectfully on a range of relevant issues. The course includes Zoom breakout rooms for team collaboration and one-on-one interaction with the instructor. It will culminate in a tournament, providing students with a taste of competitive debate.
