That’s Debatable- Debate class- but fun! We will cover age-appropriate topics from current news, mixed with some silly topics such as, “does pineapple belong on pizza?” My goal is to get them giggling, listening, talking and learning from each other in a meaningful way with cordial civil discourse. My hope is to help them expand their knowledge, promote understanding for each other and foster a mutual respect for their peers, no matter where others’ beliefs fall in the debate. I want to keep things as lighthearted and fun as possible, while also teaching how we can respectfully disagree with someone else about their beliefs. My plan is to contribute thought-provoking topics and questions that get them curious and talking with me and each other.
