With all of the focus on testing and buzz words, do your students ever feel like they aren't really learning anything? What happened to those light-bulb moments? You know…the ones where they finally understood what they were being taught because they were doing something with it.

Art can take form in many ways.
“Where science ends, art begins.” -Charles Nègre
Speech and Debate course is designed to help students learn the basics of public speaking and a structure of how to create an impromptu speech. We will start off by breaking them into smaller groups until ultimately they are able to perform their speech in front of the entire class. In the debate class, the students will learn how to create an arguement. We will first start off by teaching them the proper way of creating a claim, warrant, and impact which is the basis of debate. Every week students will get new topics to debate. The topics can range from metaphorical, politcal, abstract, or moral questions.
