For Beginners you have a lot of textbooks you can choose from. But let’s be honest, most of them are useless (and boring, which makes it even worse.) You need a book that’s brief, easy to read, and - most importantly - shows your kids how to understand and win debates.

BEGINNING DEBATE is for students who are just starting to learn debate. Each chapter takes your students step-by-step through an introduction of what it takes to win at the novice and junior varsity levels.

This NEW edition is not tied to any specific topic; you can use it with any policy debate class.

The new edition has 17 chapters and 50 learning experiences. BEGINNING DEBATE includes quizzes, puzzles, word searches, discussion questions, worksheets, a crossword puzzle, and more. “How To” advice is integrated into every chapter. Chapters, in order are: (1) Why Debate, (2) Analyzing Debate, (3) Crucial Words & Ideas, (4) Rules And Speaker Duties, (5) Learning To Research, (6) Writing A Block, (7) Writing Your Affirmative Case, (8) Practice and Tournaments, (9) Flowsheeting, (10) Voting Issues, (11) Cross-Examination, (12) Delivery and Ethics, (13) Counterplans, (14) Improving Your Options, (15) Fallacies In Logic, (16) The Speech Squad, (17) Debate Sociology.
