​

Debate I: We will learn foundational skills necessary for any debate format (flowing, argument structure, research). Lincoln–Douglas (LD) debate and Public Forum (PF) debate will be introduced and we will discuss the differences and strengths of both formats. This class is focused on providing a skill set that can be used across formats.

​

Debate II: We will sharpen the distinction between LD and PF. More advanced lessons will include case construction, resolution analysis, and drills to polish debate skills. This class is focused on taking that skillset developed earlier and applying it within debate rounds.
