Competitive Debate: The Official Guide
Competitive Debate: The Official Guide
$17.97
Nearly every high school and college in America has a debate club and/or
a debate team. There are hundreds of competitions at the county and
state level, culminating in heated national competitions. Yet, at many
high schools and colleges, coaches are drawn from the history or English
departments with little or no experience in the highly structured
procedures of this popular discipline. And while competitive debate has
been growing each year as a prime academic activity, there have been no
popular handbooks to help students and coaches prepare for contests
effectively and efficiently. Practical and authoritative, this guide
includes not only tips and guidelines for effective preparation and
delivery, but full-length, actual transcripts of successful competitions
in each format. Endorsed by the two national governing bodies for
competitive debate the National Federation of State High School
Associations and the National Forensic League and priced for the
budget-conscious student and high school teacher alike.
