Summer Debate Camps

Hello!

Below are some links to policy debate camps around (ish) our area.  I strongly recommend attending one if you have the opportunity to do so.  Both novice and varsity debaters can benefit from camps!

Natural State Debate Institute - Little Rock, AR

Missouri State Debate Institute - Springfield, MO

Kansas University Debate Camp - Lawrence, KS

University of Texas Skills Intensive - Austin, TX

University of North Texas Mean Green Workshops - Denton, TX 

Student Congress Bills

We are taking a break from policy debate to work on Student Congress!

There are several specific aspects of bill creation that you should be aware of before you get started.  You may choose any policy change at the school, local, state or federal level.    You may work individually or with one partner.  

Here is a link to the Bill Template.  Sign in to Gmail, click on the link, make a copy of the bill, and re-title it with your name.  Then, share the document with me.

Or, if you don't like Google docs, you can download the Bill Template, save it to your H drive, and then email it to me when you are finished.

Here is a packet that I give to Oral Comm. students.  Go to page 3, and you can see a diagrammed bill that tells you what to write in each section.

Here is the rubric for the bill!

Bills are due on Friday via email!

Here is the outline for the bill.  Please fill this out.

Outlines are due by the end of class on Monday.
