In this four-day debate camp, students will learn all about principles of rhetoric, logic, and philosophy, and how to apply them to the form and structure of Big Questions, one of the newest and most abstract academic debate formats. This is an interactive camp where students will work on researching, writing about, and then debating a resolution from the previous school year's Big Questions competitions. Note that the topics here are much more abstract than in the other debate events. These...

I have a BA in Philosophy with minors in Political Science and Greek and Roman Studies, as well as an MA in Philosophy with a concentration in Ethics and Political Philosophy. I’m the head coach of a competitive high school debate team and teach the liberal arts at a classical school. I’m also a professional creative writer and journalist. I love helping students of all ages understand and interpret difficult subjects and learn how to crystallize their thoughts in writing and oral communication. I believe formal debate is a wonderful way to facilitate this kind of growth and learning.

Frecuencia: incluidoDetalles: Students who wish to receive personalized feedback from the instructor on their performance and progress as a Big Questions debater may ask for such feedback, as well as guidance on any future goals they may have with formal debate.
A pen and paper for "flowing," a style of notation used in debate rounds, will be required for each student. No digital tools will suffice for this; it must be a physical pen and paper.
This camp will require students to research, write, and debate about several potentially hot-button moral and religious issues, such as whether morality or a deity exists, whether there is such a thing as objective truth, or what the nature of knowledge is. Students will not be able to choose their own side on the topic as the sides will be randomly assigned by the instructor. No preferences from parents or students as to assigned sides or debating partners will be taken into account out of fairness to everyone and due to the educational value of having to adopt perspectives that differ from one's own. Students will then engage in a robust exchange of ideas with each other about the topic and will thus be exposed through both the research and the debating processes to numerous perspectives on these issues. It is the responsibility of the parent or guardian to decide if this is an appropriate activity for their child. I'm happy to answer any questions you may have.
Students will be coached on best research practices. Topics will be chosen from those created in the previous academic year by the National Speech and Debate Association (NSDA). Research guidance will also be drawn from NSDA-created topic packets, but students will be strongly encouraged to do outside research, as well. In live meetings, we will go over how to find appropriate, relevant, and reliable sources in great detail.
