By the end of this Self-Paced class, students will know how to compose and analyze sound, respectful arguments around controversial questions. We'll learn: - the fundamentals of debate structure - supporting logical arguments with research - recognizing logical fallacies and crafting rebuttals - the art of compromise Practice debate questions will supplement the Lessons. They're guided by learner interest, but may include topics like: -Is cloning justified? -How is social media effecting society for better or for worse? -Is the death penalty justified? This is a Self-Paced class with no live meetings. Each of the 4 Lessons includes a pre-recorded Lesson Video (plus an Optional Worksheet for comprehension) with accompanying Debate posts, where students will do activities and engage in a back-and-forth with the teacher. Each Lesson's Debate will correspond to the debate skills taught in the corresponding Lesson. Students are also welcome to message me or arrange Q&A or live "office hours" for additional support. I also offer this as a Live Class, if your student prefers that method of instruction: https://outschool.com/classes/weekly-debate-club-ELOy0z8E#usu529M6QA This class is also perfect for Saysa (Scholastic Asia Young Storytellers Award) participants. See you in class! Class Listing photo by Miguel Henriques on Unsplash

Orientación para padres
If you or your student doesn't want to engage with a certain question for any particular reason, just let me know and I can avoid such topics and provide alternatives. I do so proactively around sensitive/emotionally-charged topics if I feel it's for the good of the class.

I teach a popular and highly-rated version of this class for younger students: https://outschool.com/classes/intro-to-the-art-of-debate-flex-class-x1ly2Z6X
and have decided to open a version for older students!
Also, my business degree includes courses on public speaking and I've served on international business case competition teams, which had a similar format to a debate.
It's crucial in today's world, filled with misinformation and arguments on social media, that young people know how to logically express themselves and engage with others.
