Welcome to the Debate page. Here you will find upcoming competitions we will compete in, assignments, videos, and pictures of our team. I am looking forward to a great year with our debate team which will be competing in CX and LD debate and Extemporaneous Speech.
Course Description:
Controversial issues arise in aspects of personal, social, public, and professional life in modern society. Debate and argumentation are widely used to make decisions and reduce conflict. Students who develop skills in argumentation and debate become interested in current issues, develop sound critical thinking, and sharpen communication skills. They acquire life-long skills for intelligently approaching controversial issues and clashes of opinion.
