Debate Club

|
Our middle school Debate Club is open to all 7th and 8th grade students who wish to participate. It meets during 9th period on Tuesdays every other month. Our club closely follows the format and methods developed by I.D.E.A.-- the International Debate Educators Association. Between our team debates, we engage in fun activities that really help students build logical arguments, speak better in front of others, and think fast on their feet. Some of our recent debate topics have been: - Political correctness?
- Celebrities as Role Models?
- Should Corporal Punishment be Allowed in the Schools?
- Animal Testing for Science?
- Equal Pay for Equal Work?
- Should the Government Regulate what you Eat?
- And, just for fun, Harry Potter vs. the Twilight Series....Which is better?
