The Art of Argument is an engaging debate and communication course to help students build confidence, clarity, and critical thinking skills. Students learn debate formats, strategic thinking, cross-examination, and effective rebuttals while fostering respectful disagreement, critical analysis, teamwork and thoughtful engagement with differing viewpoints. This course is ideal for students seeking to strengthen public speaking, leadership, and analytical skills in a collaborative team setting. Teacher Bio: My name is Ashley “Ash” Knutson.
