Each week the class will have a new topic to research and come prepared to debate. The topics will be current events within the U.S. and around the world. As well as researching these important events, learners will spend each week practicing the avoidance of logical fallacies, the response should they be confronted with logical fallacies, the art of sculpting important questions for their opponents in order to elicit the answers they need, the presentation of materials including enunciation, speed and intonation, and the ability to remain respectful and to debate hot topics with integrity.
Metas de aprendizaje
Learners will gain practice in argumentation and presentation, in the use of language and words to craft important ideas and the practice of reading and researching the important events of the world helping them to be informed world citizens who can discuss and debate with confidence and kindness.
Otros detalles
Orientación para padres
While events around the world will be fair game, some of the most personal and private topics (such as the topics of abortion or religion) will be avoided. If a current event chosen is of a personal nature to a participant and they would prefer to not debate it, I am happy to change the topic if necessary.
Recursos externos
Los estudiantes no necesitarán utilizar ninguna aplicación o sitio web más allá de las herramientas estándar de Outschool.
Experiencia y certificaciones del docente
I am a world citizen. I teach debate and I am a human rights lawyer who spent many years in United Nations Courtrooms arguing out global events. I think it is essential to have young people who can critically think, who can research and understand good sourcing of information and who can learn to articulate their ideas and positions while still remaining respectful and kind.
