I am a licensed teacher & have worked with elementary - high school students on a range of communication skills to include competitive debate and public speaking, reading and writing, and mock trial for over 25 years.
Homework Offered
Each weekly topic will be posted in the classroom 6 days before class. To be prepared, participants need to learn about the topic outside of class to gather knowledge on the subject.
Assessments Offered
General feedback will be provided team-wide after each debate. When teams are waiting for their turn to debate, they may have the role of scoring the participating teams on a rubric. This helps learners to focus on the elements of debate which helps them improve their own skills.
