HSMWB Posted December 14, 2023 Share Posted December 14, 2023 I have a group of 8-10 high school students who have been meeting twice a month and giving speeches. They would like to branch out and start doing actual debates in class with each other. I am looking for resources on how to teach them to actually debate, not just argue. They are already pro’s are the arguing part, lol. What I can find on-line seems to mostly be lists of debate topic ideas or joining national debate organizations. Any suggestions on places to look or resources for me to use in class? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freesia Posted December 14, 2023 Share Posted December 14, 2023 This has been on my radar for a while: https://classicalacademicpress.com/collections/everyday-debate?gclid=Cj0KCQiA7OqrBhD9ARIsAK3UXh2q2gvjcugEXKWouQP-ZNy3TW08uAofm7XplHyHfVOVAGZlCR1I64UaArrcEALw_wcB I have never used it, but it's worth a look.

cintinative Posted December 14, 2023 Share Posted December 14, 2023 I have not used this, but it is used (I think) by a national debate organization. https://www.rainbowresource.com/ncfca-comprehensive-guide-to-debate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirstenhill Posted December 14, 2023 Share Posted December 14, 2023 I have a ~40 page file I can send you if you PM me. It's the "how to" instructions for the league my DS16 competes in, but it is a great structure and could make a good jumping off point. The format is less technical than a lot of policy debate formats, but it is still set up to be a 2v2 style (if that's at all what you are looking for).
