𝐃𝐢𝐝 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐤𝐧𝐨𝐰 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐩𝐮𝐛𝐥𝐢𝐜 𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐚𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐧𝐮𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫 𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐟𝐞𝐚𝐫 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐦𝐨𝐬𝐭 𝐩𝐞𝐨𝐩𝐥𝐞? Yet it's a necessary skill in nearly every profession and a crucial part of life. 👉 In this class, learners will conquer that fear by mastering their public speaking and debate skills in a fun and encouraging environment. Most importantly, their self-confidence will soar! 💥. 👉 This engaging small-group class was specifically created for young learners that would like to learn debate / argumentation in a fun and casual environment. 𝐁𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐢𝐧 𝐂𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐬 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟑 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟒! 🗣 We start the class by explaining the resolution. Then, learners will share their opening statements of why they agree or disagree with the resolution. 👂Then, we guide the learners through a rebuttal round, where they learn how to listen and respond to the other side in a logical and respectful way. 📣 This class will include easy and light-hearted debate topics (are dogs better than cats, etc) that do not require any preparation. Topics are posted in advance and learners are encouraged to think about the topic ahead of the class, and even potentially have some facts to back up their side. This is not required. We debate a different resolution each week so learners are given consistent opportunities to practice public speaking, critical thinking, listening, and debate in every class.
