Take the fear out of public speaking and replace it with FUN in this top-rated debate class! We were named Best in Class in 2023 and 2024 because we have built confidence and communication skills in thousands of learners here on Outschool! 💥 We debate different topics each week, all are topics that learners can easily understand, engage, and enjoy! Examples: - Do dogs make better pets than cats? - Would it be better to be invisible or be able to fly? - Would you rather live on a submarine or a spaceship? - Are books better than movies? Topics are posted in advance, and learners are encouraged to think about the topic ahead of the class, and even potentially have some facts to back up their side. This is not required. 🗣 We start the class by explaining the resolution. Then, learners will share their opening statements of why they agree or disagree with the resolution. 👂Then, we guide the learners through a rebuttal round, where they learn how to listen and respond to the other side in a logical and respectful way. Our small class sizes ensure that every learner will have a chance to provide an opening statement and at least one rebuttal in every class. 📣 Too easy for your child? 👇 • We also offer a Beginner Debate class that focuses on more complex debate topics (should we ban bottled water, is social media good for kids, etc). • https://outschool.com/classes/public-speaking-and-debate-club-beginners-hbOxf41F#usfWkMy7s8 This class is backed by Outschool's 100% Happiness Guarantee!
