In this four-day debate camp, students will learn all about principles of rhetoric, logic, and research, and how to apply them to the form and structure of Congressional debate, one of the most popular and accessible academic debate formats. This is an interactive camp where students will work on researching, writing about, and then debating several bills from one of the previous school year's Congressional debate competitions. Note that in Congressional debate, students debate each other as a whole group, like actual members of the House of Representatives do. They will not be debating each other one-on-one or in pairs. Students will receive coaching from an instructor who has coached numerous national qualifying and state champion debaters. This is the perfect camp for a middle school student considering joining a formal debate team when they reach the high school level.

Orientación para padres
This camp will require students to research, write, and debate about several potentially hot-button political issues, such as the economy, international relations, or certain social issues. Students will be expected to prepare both sides of each bill for their practice chamber, both because of the structure of competitive Congressional debate 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 bills 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.
Lista de útiles escolares
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.
Recursos externos
Los estudiantes no necesitarán utilizar ninguna aplicación o sitio web más allá de las herramientas estándar de Outschool.

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.Reseñas
