In Speech and Debate Camp Levels I and II we learned speech and debate skills. In this class, we just practice and compete! Each class students will practice debate skills in debate practice rounds. Students will receive feedback on their speaking, speeches, and debate skills. 

The Speech and Debate Club will repeat monthly with different events, topics, skills and tournaments! Each week we focus on a different debate format and topic. So students will learn about the different national debate formats. 

Each week we will review different public speaking and debate skills. Every class features an interactive lecture (games, slides, video clips, discussions and debates).  Topics will range from serious and challenging to fun and impromptu style debates. 

We begin each class with a short activity (public speaking, current events, debate, trivia). The rest of class is devoted to practice debates!  We will have both impromptu and prepared topics. 

CLASS TOPICS

Week #1 - SPAR Debates
Week #2 - Parliamentary Debate and/or SPAR Debates
