Saint Ignatius Speech and Debate
Summer School
Welcome to the Summer School site for Public Speaking and Argumentation! Below you will find files and links to resources that will help you throughout the course. All documents and links will be reviewed during class.
NOTES FOR THE WEEKEND: 6/23/07-6/24/07
Congrats on a successful Week 1! I just wanted to note the links that we discussed in the Beta Lab today. The library site is http://www.siprep.org/wilsey/?CFID=466024&CFTOKEN=43821556. 'Research help' and 'Citing Sources' are the links that you should all use. I also wanted to make a note on your chosen topics. For those topics you did give me, they sound good but are still obviously very surface level. Remember, you need to formulate a thesis and take a position on those topics - look at Lecture 3 for reminders. On Monday, we'll talk more about writing rough drafts and how to turn those drafts into Power Point based public presentations. Feel free to also look over the presentation evaluation form and also an outlined example (Speech 1) that you should all base your draft/speech strcuture on.
NOTES FOR THE WEEKEND: 7/14/07-7/15/06
Debate starts on Monday. Please come ready to debate if you are going on Monday. Posted below is the Debate Powerpoint presentation to help you all review the tools needed for debate this coming week. Feel free to email me with any questions. Remember those not participating in the tournament are still required to turn in some form of writing to show their research/preparation. Prepare well and good luck!
