Students should have take at least our introductory course, or be familiar with speech and debate more broadly, before enrolling in this ongoing club. This course will teach kids to broaden their speech and debate skills by building upon the fundamentals of public speaking and debate. Kids will learn how to take notes effectively, respond to what their peers are saying, as well as how to create and deliver speeches. Each day students will be taught a short lesson followed by a series of activities to help kids internalize the lesson plan for the day. Students will be given direct feedback immediately following their speeches with the opportunity to improve in subsequent rounds and weeks. Students can join this course at anytime since each week focuses on a unique stand alone lesson plan geared to get students engaged and interacting with one another.
