This class is a foundational class that any student with no experience in speech and debate can take! Students will learn skills in four fundamental categories: limited preparation speaking; research-based speaking; acting; and debate. This class is great for students who are just starting out; are trying to build their confidence; or refine their speaking skills. After taking this class; students can take the Intermediate Speech and Debate Comprehensive; start the Debate Comprehensive; or move on to specialty classes. Our students love this class because it is a fun way to help them develop their writing; speaking; and critical thinking skills.
