Speech, Debate & Drama
Speech & Debate Overview
The goal of this course is to improve the student's ability to
speak publicly for a variety of audiences and purposes. The
first quarter deals with effective use of oral language as it is
expressed in a variety of formal and informal speech modes.
Selecting a topic, determining your purpose, analyzing your
audience, organizing materials, wording your speech and
delivering it will be the foundation upon which the second
quarter of debate will be built. An intensive, full blown debate
using the need/case plan will be the end goal of the semester.

Drama Overview
This is a participation course which examines various
principles, techniques and aspects of the theatre arts.
Emphasis will be on acting, however, aspects of theatre
history and technical theatre will also be explored. This is a
content area course as well as a participation course. Students
will be expected to informally and formally participate in
ensembles, workshop performances and in the final class
production.
Homework
