Intermediate Debate<\/h3>\n

Intermediate Debate is a class tailored to students who have had limited coaching in the debate styles taught at Ethos Academy.

British Parliamentary (BP)<\/span><\/h3>\n

BP is a style unlike many others which pairs 4 teams of two against one another. This style of debate is commonly used around Canada and the world at tournaments such as Hart House, Oxford Schools and Hong Kong Parliamentary. Those who are comfortable with the Canadian National Debate Format (CNDF) and have a strong grasp of strategy will enjoy this fast paced style. With only 15-minutes of preparation time and adding two additional teams into each round, students will learn to master how to think on their feet while maintaining confidence and composure.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n

CNDF\/Worlds<\/span><\/h3>\n

<\/h4>\n

Canadian National Debate Format (CNDF) is the style of debate commonly used at the Provincial and National levels of debate within Canada including the National Debating Championships. This 2v2 style focuses on the clear articulation of constructive material and persuasive strategies to respond to the opponent\u2019s material.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

World Schools Debate Format (Worlds) is the style of debate used around the world at numerous international events such as Harvard Schools and the World Schools Debating Championships. This 3v3 style is similar to CNDF with the addition of 3rd Speakers who seek to deepen rounds with additional clash and weighing. For those who are comfortable with CNDF, Worlds enriches a student\u2019s learning with extended preparation time and the opportunity to debate more complex subject areas.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Public Speaking<\/h3>\n

Public speaking is one of the main pillars of debate, focusing on the rhetoric and delivery of important concepts and arguments. Our classes range from building confidence to preparing persuasive speeches and presenting dramatic interpretations of literature to compete at competitions provincially, nationally, and internationally at the World\u2019s Individual Public Speaking and Debating Championships. As public speaking is a highly individualized activity, it will only be offered in private classes with one of our experienced public speaking instructors.<\/span><\/p>\n
