ONLINE DEBATE CLASSES: COURSE DESCRIPTIONS

"Crossfire" Club (Grades 1-3rd, & 4-6th)

This is an entry-level debate course designed to teach/reinforce debate fundamentals, yet focuses on crossfire. There will be “Crossfire” events at the tournaments we host for students to further develop their skills. There will be several topics; with most being considered “fun” topics. We provide students with the research and teach them to make speeches and to argue back and forth in the “crossfire” style of arguing. Excellent for the younger grades!

"Skills" Debate (Grades 4-8th)

This is an entry-level debate course designed to teach the skills related to all styles of debate, yet focuses on the public forum style. There will be “Skills” Debate tournaments for students to further develop their skills. There will be one (or two) research topics along with some “fun” topics as well.

"Public Forum" Debate (4-12th)

This is one of the most popular debate styles in the United States (& internationally as well). This course will help students prepare for upcoming competitions and teach intermediate and advanced theory necessary for competitive success. We will provide online tournaments for students to improve their skills.

"Competitive" Debate*

This course will help students to prepare for upcoming competitions and teach intermediate and advanced theory(ies) along with in-depth subject knowledge as necessary for competitive success.  This course requires debate to be a prioritized activity and as such students must attend tournaments as either a debate competitor or a debate judge. This class debates regularly and requires students to be 100% prepared for each meeting. We have in-person as well as virtual debate contests for students to attend. We have also added support for “Lincoln Douglas” Debate (1-vs-1 style).

*Advanced classes require experience and a great deal of self-reliance – prior training and tournament experience are both prerequisites.
