Parliamentary Debate

7th-12th grade

This class is for students who are interested in team debate and current events. In parliamentary debate, debaters will get a new topic every time they debate, which over time earns them a wide array of knowledge on current events. Parliamentary debate helps students learn how to work together to construct a case, how to listen well and engage in cross-examination, as well as using logic to defend their arguments. In this class students will develop research skills, quick critical thinking, writing, note-taking, speaking skills, and extemporaneous speaking skills.

When taking this class, students will get the opportunity to participate in in-class and external competitions.
