Description:

This course has been designed to develop intermediate debate skills through use of challenging debate topics in domestic formats of debate (Canadian National Debate Format or British Parliamentary). In class, students focus on specific debate skills to help them progress more quickly to the next level while they expanding their knowledge.

Skill lessons will cover strategic argument choice, using multiple lines of analysis and rebuttal, drills on improving quality of argumentation, use of framing and weighing devices, intermediate-level burden analysis, and drills on earlier skills (intros, presentation, note-taking) to further refine them. Knowledge sessions are at the discretion of the coach but may include debates on economics, feminism, journalism, animal rights, and more.
