Falcon Speech and [email protected]
• Speech and debate is a class that gives students an opportunity to utilize their voice to advocate for things they believe in. In class students will learn; how to craft arguments, how to provide and take feedback, and presentation skills fundamental not only to the classroom, but to life as well. This is a challenging course that will push students’ critical thinking and speaking skills. But there is a lot of fun to be had in discovering one’s voice.
