每週 2-4 小時. 1. Speech and Debate Assignments. Each student should spend 2-3 hours a week on their speeches and/or debates. 2. Recommendation: Students should be reading current events on a weekly or daily basis. But this is not a prerequisite for this course.評估
1. Speech Practices! Each class students have a short speech due on a different topic. We will review these speeches at the beginning of class. 2. Debate Practice Day! Each class features debate practices. 3. Speech Evaluations! Students and myself will be providing feedback on speeches on Chat, on your Flip Speeches, and/or sending to you after class. 4. Khan Academy Assessments! We will be using Khan Academy which has its own internal assessment as well as a mini review game at the beginning of each class on Civics & AP Government in relation to Congress. 5. Other Games! We play several games in class (Kahoot, Gimkit, Blooket, Quizlet) which are also mini-assessment activities to track progress throughout the course.我們無法翻譯此文，請刷新頁面並再試一次。

CLASS DESCRIPTION In this class we focus on the national debate event of Congressional Debate. Students will learn beginner, intermediate and advanced skills in Congressional Debate. The class is structured into four parts: (1) Congressional Debate Skills, (2) Congressional Debate Practice, (3) Congressional Fun Facts, (4) and Congressional Theory & Advanced Placement American Civics & Political Theory! Congressional Debate Students! This class will definitely level up your skills in competitive debate and speaking as well Not to mention you might want to run for Congress, State Legislature, City Council or other legislative position some day! Other Speech and Debate Competitors! If you are participating in other speech and debate events, the skills of this class will definitely benefit you. And you may want to try Congressional Debate as a Supplemental Event at tournaments. I started out as a Policy Debater but my most successful event ended up being Congressional Debate! Advanced Placement Students, History Students, Political Science and Civics Students! You don’t have to be a debater to participate in this course! This class is a crash course in American Government, Civics, and Congress. Thinking about maybe trying the Advanced Placement US Government and Politics course and/or exam? This class previews the entire AP course with weekly reading assignments, exercises and practice games in class each week.

See the class links below to sign up for these. This is for several reasons. (1) The curriculum is sequential. Each class builds on the previous and there are many review activities and reference points where students new to the curriculum may be lost. (2) We use many Apps in this class and so students must be proficient in these Apps. (3) Teaching style. My teaching and curriculum is unique and so definitely should be okay with this before signing up!

父母的引導和規範
Debate Topics: This is an advanced debate class and students will be drafting legislation and speeches on the topics that they are interested in and/or in current events. So topics in the past have included controversial and/or mature topics - war, religion, politics, human trafficking, abortion, genocide, environment, etc. The same topics you will see in many middle school and high school speech and debate competitions. Students are free to select their own topics so long as they are respectful to all perspectives, back up their opinions with evidence, and of course there is zero tolerance for any hate speech or any type of discrimination.
Curriculum: We will be using some videos on Congressional Comedy from Saturday Night Live and other Late Night Comedy shows and News Comedians. So if not comfortable with political comedy or those shows, this will not be the right fit.
External Resources Statement: We will be using a variety of classroom tools, readings, links and other external resources including Kahoot, Gimkit, Blooket, and Quizlet. Please review the Materials section before signing up for this class. These resources are optional. No accounts have to be created. All these resources are free. All these resources have been vetted and used widely by students, schools and teachers.
先決條件
Students must have enrolled in at least my Debate Camp Level #1 and/or Debate Camp Level #2 Classes. See the class links below to sign up for these.
供應清單
I would recommend, but not required, is a secondary device to play the Apps. Sometimes if you use one device for the Zoom, Outschool, and App Games, it may cause some problems on some computers or is confusing. Most of the Apps we will be using can be played easily on a secondary device such as a smartphone, tablet, laptop, etc. The Apps we will be using are listed in the Materials and External Resources section. But again, a secondary device is not required.

學士學位 在 歷史 從 University of California, Berkeley
I have been involved in speech and debate as a student and educator my entire life. I learned more in my Speech and Debate Club than all my high school, college and law school classes combined. I joined the Speech and Debate Team at my middle school because I was very shy of public speaking. I have been hooked in speech and debate since!
I received my B.A. from U.C Berkeley, Jurist Doctorate from Hastings College of Law, and Masters Degree in Education at Pace University. In 2002 I was accepted to Teach for America and I have been teaching since. I have been a public school teacher for ten years with the New York City Department of Education and taught speech and debate classes for about ten years with thousands of NYC students. My debaters have gone on to win city, state and national champion titles. I currently serve as Professor at Baruch College in the Communications Studies Department. I teach Debate and Argumentation classes as well as Political Rhetoric.
As a teacher I helped to co-found the Big Apple Debate League which is now the NY Debate League. In 2011, I founded our city's Urban Debate League with the mission that every middle school and high school should have a debate team. I served as Founder and Executive Director from 2011-2019 building the league into the largest citywide debate league in the nation, serving thousands of students every year. In 2020, I left the nonprofit world, and I returned to my passion as a full time teacher!
I have received numerous awards in education including the United States Supreme Court Summer Institute for Teachers Fellowship, Fund for Teachers Fellowship, Plank Foundation Fellowship, and Teach for America Innovation Award Finalist.
I love teaching. My grandparents, parents and my brother are all educators. There is nothing more fun than sharing your passion with others.
My philosophy of teaching is learning should be fun and challenging. My lectures are interactive with movie clips, songs, puzzles and other engaging tools. We always practice our public speaking and debate skills. All my classes end with a fun and competitive speech and debate practice or tournament. My mission is all students should have access to speech and debate.評論
