Presentation transcript:

Welcome to the Debate Team! Advisors: Mrs. Brashier Mrs. Allen

How many on a team?  Our goal is three  Do we all have to be in the same grade?  Nope!  What if we lose a teammate or do not have enough members on the team?  Two is okay – we’ll make it happen!

How does it work?  See document

Rules for Debate  See document

How will we be judged?  See document

When will we debate?  We are only allowed one month to prepare for the debate competition  We will announce the topic in May and have a June debate

How is the topic decided?  Each advisor from Sandburg, Poquessing, and Maple Point come up with several ideas and we vote on the best choice  Each member will prepare for ONE topic  What’s the catch?  You will NOT know which side you are on so you MUST prepare for both – pro and con.

Who do we compete against?  Poquessing and Maple Point  You will never go against your own team (anyone else from Sandburg)

When will we meet?  Every other Thursday from 3-4pm in D-4 and the library  Please try to arrange for transportation promptly at 4pm  Please listen to the announcements for meeting dates and changes

If we don’t know our topic until May, why meet?  Practice, practice, practice!  Participate in mock debates  Get comfortable with researching and finding credible resources  Get used to being on both sides of an argument

Debate Team Website   How to get here:  Go to  Click on Carl Sandburg Middle School under schools at the top left of your screen  Click on Departments  Click on Communications

Is it too late for your friends to join?  Not at all! The more the merrier.

Our next meeting…  Thursday, October 23rd

Any questions?
