CLASS MINI: INTRO TO DEBATE
Duration - 50 minutes per class
Age - 8-16 years
Free
4-15 Students Per Camp
Interested in trying out a debate class? This is a chance to try out a mini-lesson. We will discuss the key vocabulary terms in debate (resolution, pro, con, rebuttal) and have a fun debate about pets. Learners will be prompted to share their opinions in a speech format and will be guided to look for flaws in the other side's arguments.
​
>>> Resolution: Dogs make better pets than cats.
​
The full version of this class meets once a week, debating different topics each week.
Please note this is a one-time demo class and can not be repeated. This is open to learners who have not taken debate classes with My Speech and Debate Coach before.
​
We have proudly taught essential communication skills and boosted the confidence of over 9,000 learners on trusted platforms such as Outschool! We would love the opportunity to work with yours!
Many of our learners have gone on to join our award-winning debate tournament team. We have also coached many students that have won scholarships and even national titles. But our primary goal is to help encourage the self-confidence needed for any public speaking situation.
