Animals and Debate - Ongoing Public Speaking Club for Intro Elementary Students
Class experience
In this ongoing class, kids will get the opportunity to play educational debate games with their peers in order to improve their critical thinking, public speaking, and argumentation skills while debating about animals. Students can join or leave the class at any point since each week works as a standalone lesson.

This class is taught in English.

The BCDA's founder has been run a competitive college debate team for twenty years. He has also run elementary and middle school debate workshops for the past four years both in the US and internationally. We have now taught well over a thousand kids from countries around the world digitally through this platform with great reviews. If for whatever reason you feel the class didn't live up to what you were looking for, please contact us for a refund. We are offering these courses as a way for students to get the benefits of debate and peer-directed education while schools are shutdown. Debate is not necessarily for everyone, but we are confident that if your kid is excited about it they will enjoy this class, and don't want you paying if that's not the case.
Students should come with paper and something to write with. Taking notes on a computer is also entirely fine. A timer is suggested, but not required.
We will only pick age appropriate topics for kids to debate. If there are any topics you might not want you child to participate in please let us know.
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
