Award Winning Debate & Public Speaking Program
What does debate mean?
It is to consider a topic of interest and deliberate it with one self or others. When you argue with a friend or family member, you may not think of it at the time, but you are, in a crude way, debating. You are discussing an issue that you both may feel differently about, however there are no rules.
What is debating?
Debating is a verbal contest, with rules, where two or more contestants give argument with the intent of persuading one another, audience, or judging panel which is the most convincing augment. In other words, it’s a verbal game with moves and strategy as subtle as a chess game.
Public Speaking
The MSCCS Public Speaking Program builds confidence in our Kindergarten and First Grade students. Although they may be nervous before giving their first speech, they will feel a sense of accomplishment along with a sense of relief when it is done. Here at MSCCS, our goal is to introduce and enhance our public speaking skills and challenge our students with weekly speeches in front of other peers. Throughout the school year, you will see your child’s oral communication skills improve. As your child’s skills improve, they will begin to feel more comfortable and confident in their ability to speak well.
Debate
MSCCS has great pride, love, and joy when it comes to our Debate Program. Our Debate Program aims to educate and develop persuasive thinking and public speaking skills in students in our Second through Fifth Grade classes. We help our students target researching skills. To make a successful public presentation, we teach our students the importance and the need to research their topic thoroughly. They will learn where to find the information they need for each presentation and how to tell whether the information is credible and relevant. The year will conclude with our Great Debate where our students enjoy participating in a friendly debate competition with other local schools in the area.
