Debate: Classroom Debate by Teachers

At the World Debate Institute going on this summer at the University of Vermont there is a three credit graduate class for teachers, and the subject is debate across the curriculum. Using the textbook by Alfred Snider and Maxwell Schnurer Many Sides: debate across the curriculum and the extensive (30 plus workshops) training experience of Bojana Skrt the teachers have a week to learn about debating and how it can be applied to the classroom in almost any subject. For more information, when available, about next year’s workshop and class, go to http://debate.uvm.edu/wdi/ .

This debate is on the topic, JUNK FOOD SHOULD NOT BE SERVED IN SCHOOLS, and is designed to take place between students in a health class. The debaters include Jennifer LeTourneau, Amy WIlson, Glenn Steinman and Jeff Barber.
