Civil discourse is an art that not many apply in their everyday life. My hope is this class will teach students to respectfully listen to others' opinions, while understanding that everyone's opinion is shaped by their own experiences and knowledge. This is an ongoing class, join anytime. You choose your article to share! Learn the art of finding credible research and practice for domestic extemporaneous and international speaking competitions with a Speech and Debate Coach, attorney and longtime government teacher. This is a student-centered class where students bring their articles and lead the discussions. This is also a great class to take if you are currently enrolled in a government or AP Government Course. As a group, we will formulate questions based on the chosen articles and take positions. Students are welcome to research any topic discussed during class and bring it to next week's class for further discussion. Classes are ongoing and students are welcome to come and go as they please.

Orientación para padres
I believe in free speech. Sometimes a student will bring in an article and discuss personal topics. I will not tell a student they cannot discuss a topic, I just ask that they use facts as their basis. If another student does not like a topic presented I encourage them to discuss with family or to contact me directly. That being said, topics will be age appropriate and not harmful.
Lista de útiles escolares
Students should choose an article online that is as non biased as possible. I will provide a sheet showing news bias, it is the students choice how they wish to proceed. I will also provide a format sheet for our discussion.

I am a Professor and High School teacher. I am also a retired practicing attorney in New York State. I have taught Advanced Placement US Government, Advanced Placement Comparative Government and traditional High School Government and history classes for over twenty years. I coach for Potomac Debate and NSDA. Many of my students have won State Championships in individual Speech and Debate events including Lincoln-Douglas Debate, Domestic and International Extemporaneous Speaking, Dramatic Interpretation and more. I recognize that politics are deeply personal and encourage nonbiased discussions that encourage students to speak with their own family members. Reseñas
