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.
