☻ Returning Student Advanced Elementary Class ☻
|
Dates:
30 January - 2 May 2021 @once a week on Sundays 8 students max per class Class Description and Goal: This is an advanced elementary course in public speaking and debate. Students who enroll in this class are expected to have taken at least 2 prior semesters (1 academic year) of speech and debate. The goal of this class is for all students to continue building upon their skills in speech and debate and further advance in platform, unprepared, and debate events in preparation for competitive middle school speech and debate classes when they reach 6th grade. This class teaches both speech and debate and places an equal emphasis on both activities (50% Speech, 50% Debate). At this stage, students enrolling in this class should have solid foundations in both event types and are expected to perform at an advanced, competition-quality level. Throughout the semester, students will build upon their foundations and learn the following: ☻ Advanced techniques of Congressional Debate and potentially other debate events (spar, parliamentary debate, etc). ☻ Advanced-level evidence research, case writing, and reading comprehension. Evidence for Congress cases and facts for speeches will be expected to come from more rigorous sources (i.e. research universities, government organizations, credible news outlets and publications, and think tanks). ☻ Advanced techniques in public speaking (persuasion, logical reasoning, body language and stage presence) ☻ Advanced-level skills in argumentation and cross-examination Pre-Requisites: ☻ This weekly class is designed for students who have taken at least TWO semesters with GSA. Advanced Class Options Sundays 2:30 PM - 4:00 PM Tuition: $600 $100 OFF early bird until January 15th Use code EB3SPRING2021 at checkout Note: There will be no class on April 9th and 10th. We will accept the first 8 students who enroll in each class and waitlist the rest until we confirm another instructor. |
