Description

Join us for an exciting debate class where students engage in fun, relevant topics and current events! They will learn how to craft persuasive arguments, support their ideas with strong evidence, and think critically about both sides of an issue. Through structured debate formats, including constructive speeches, rebuttals, and respectful crossfire discussions, students build confidence and sharpen their public speaking skills. The program includes a mix of fun activities like games, including class favorites like the candy pitch and hot seat, as well as mini group research projects, and mock debates that encourage teamwork and analytical thinking. We also dive into higher-level, real-world topics to challenge students and help them practice debating complex and important issues. This class is a fun and effective way to build essential academic and life skills like critical thinking, public speaking, research, and respectful discourse.
