Class Description and Goal:
This is an intermediate elementary course in public speaking and debate. Students who enroll in this class are expected to have taken at least 1 previous semester of speech and debate. The goal of this class is for all students to continue their educational journey in the activity and further develop their skills through platform, unprepared, and Congressional debate events.

​

☻ Intermediate techniques of Congressional Debate
☻ Intermediate-level evidence research, case writing, and reading comprehension
☻ Intermediate to advanced techniques in public speaking (persuasion, logical reasoning, stage presence)
