Speech and Debate

Flags: flexpage,

Here you will find resources that are useful for developing and practicing speech and debate events. I currently coach Persuasive and Informative Speaking and Lincoln Douglas Debate.

Oftentimes, these activities are a student's introduction to philosophy. Some useful resources are:

• Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy: https://plato.stanford.edu/
• Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy (Great for starters): https://iep.utm.edu/
• Very Short Introductions (8-bit Philosophy): https://www.wisecrack.co/8-bit-philosophy
• Rick Roderick Lectures: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLcvjwyxdQk5FE3EvvB_S8m-nNWN1igNpb
