Did you know the two sides of a debate are the proposition and opposition? Are you curious on how to participate in a debate? In this class, students will be guided through how to speak for the proposition and the opposition. In addition, students will gain a better understanding about the art of rebuttal. This class is aimed at Years 7 - 9 but is great for any student who is going to participate in a debate.
