Students Gain Confidence in Debate Class
November 16, 2021
In David Boisclair's Debate class, students learn essential skills for being an active and engaged member of society. These include comprehensive research, understanding and anticipating an opponent's arguments, communicating in a clear and succinct manner, listening better, formulating the right questions, and connecting to an audience.
For the final exam, they participate in a Lincoln-Douglas style debate in front of their classmates. Students are assigned to argue for and against a resolution, and have time to rebut the argument made by their classmate.
