- Debate Information Night – White Bear Lake – August 27th, 7:00 pm
From: St. Paul Edge Homeschool Debate Club
WHY Debate?
“I do not know of a single subject that offers a broader education or more life
skills than debate. Whatever the resolution, a student will almost certainly
cover government, economics, political science, composition, research, public
speaking, logic, rhetoric, current events, typing/word processing, computer
skills, editing, and argumentation and debate theory as she prepares for
debate…a student may also study certain sciences, geography, a segment of
history, and/or the founding documents of our country.
She must organize her time to complete tasks, discipline herself to refute and
rebuild arguments within the strict time limits of the debate round, and learn
to appreciate the unique personalities of her teammates-life skills that are
viable in any profession.”
Christy Shipe (daughter of Michael Farris)
WHAT: Beginning Team Policy Debate Class and Club: The objectives of this 12
week class are to learn beginning debate theory, to become informed on the
debate resolution, and to learn skills in argumentation and debate. The purpose
of the debate club is to further develop skills and to participate in informal
and formal homeschool debate competitions occurring January through March 2007.
WHO: Homeschooled students ages 12 to 18
WHERE: White Bear Lake
WHEN: Classes meet Monday nights starting September 17th through December 3,
2007
TIME: 6:15 to 8:30 pm.
