In this ongoing club, students will get to respond to a new debate topic each week and participate in mock debates with each other. I will release the topic to students around two days before each class, but they will receive some time during class each week to actually prep their arguments together. As such, outside work is optional. Note that if students do opt to prep ahead of time, they will have to prepare both sides as they will not be assigned a side until class time. This is a good...
- Students will learn about the principles of rhetoric, logic, and research that they will need to be successful in formal debate.
- Students will craft and present cases based on an actual topic that has been used in real debate rounds.
- Students will develop an appreciation for understanding complex issues from diverse points of view.
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.

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 class will require students to research, write, and debate about a potentially hot-button political issue, such as the economy, public policy, practical ethics, an abstract philosophical concept that may touch on religion or morality, or international politics. 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 by the National Speech and Debate Association (NSDA) or similar organizations. 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.
