Debate

Overview

Students engage in the MS Public Forum Debate using quotation-based debate going in-depth on the national debate topic. They will learn how to debate with step-by-step instruction and engage in practice debates with extensive feedback. They will typically need to spend 30 to 60 minutes to prepare for each class day (except no preparation needed for the first day).
