About This Activity
Debate Club for Middle School students: Do you have a little lawyer at home? Someone who always seems ready to make an argument? Or maybe just a child who enjoys being right? If so, you might have someone who's ready for Debate Club! Debate Club is a student-driven exploration of the issues that interest them. Should we have less homework? More vacation? Are school uniforms really that bad? In Debate Club students ask the questions and then research answers that support, or weaken, their positions, and each class ends in a spirited debate among the students. This year will pair returning debaters with new debaters as we start with the urgent question of whether we should prepare to join CMSD (Chicago Middle School Debates), a competitive Chicago debate league. Along the way, students will develop important analytical skills that will serve them in any situation where they need to convince someone that they are right. New students are welcome in this class.
