    Why debate? Develop confidence for public speaking Enhance communication skills Learn to fairly compare pros and cons without having bias Improve critical thinking, decision making, and problem-solving skills HAVE FUN!! What is debate in High School like? There are many types of debate events such as Public Forum (the one I do), Lincoln-Douglas, Policy, and World Schools. Debate also offers many fun experiences, such as visiting colleges (Harvard, UPenn, UofM, UCB, UCLA) and traveling (Boston, Philadelphia, Minneapolis, Las Vegas, Berkeley). General format: 2 versus 2 Topics are about current events and require both logic and evidence to construct arguments. Debaters have short speeches and “crossfires” where debaters can directly question the opposing team. At the end of each round, an adult judge will decide the winner.

    This course will help students improve their writing skills by focusing on different styles of writing each week. We will start with shorter writing assignments at the beginning, and build into a larger project toward the end of our time together. By the end of the summer, each student will gain confidence in writing and be able to write across various genres, with a specific focus on essay writing. We will also develop students' analytical skills as well by preparing them to take standardized tests. The conclusion of the semester will culminate with submitting students' writing to Bennington College's Young Writers Awards. Students will also leave this class with a portfolio of work that they can shape into a personal essay that can be used for a college application.
    Students will practice various types of writing, working through the writing process and receiving formative feedback on their work. We will also use class time to read short texts and excerpts to discuss and emulate style. Students should leave the class feeling more confident with their writing skills and with a toolbox of skills to approach any writing task.
