辯論藝術簡介（自訂進度課程）

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-RxtEu9gw#usu529M6QA

This class is also perfect for Saysa (Scholastic Asia Young Storytellers Award) participants. 

See you in class!
