The students will receive feedback after each round of speaking and at the end of the debate when the winner is declared.Class Experience
In this one time course, students will learn how to construct a debate case using some of the basic terms and strategies used in competitive debate. Students will be presenting their cases, rebutting their opponents’ cases, asking opponents questions, and persuading the instructor to vote for their cases to win during an in session debate. The topic will be announced after the instructor introduces the students to the format, rules, and the basic “how to” of debate. Previous topics included: convince me to move to a new state or convince me to eat at your favorite restaurant. These fun “convince me” topics allow students to debate and discuss a topic they have previous knowledge and interest in while applying the persuasion and debate skills taught in the class to a fun debate competition. No previous experience is needed. This is for beginning debaters or those who just want a fun introduction to debate.
Learning Goals
1. Students will learn how to write and defend a basic intro level debate case prepared during the class session under the instructor’s supervision. 2. Students will participate in a Fun debate during the session.Other Details
