Tour Guide: Introduction to Debate
by Classical Conversations MultiMediaThe point of this small book on debate is to teach beginning debaters the separate forms of team policy and Lincoln-Douglas debates. It does not explain the detailed nuances required to win competitive debates. This book is a companion to a video series that introduces debate through familiar conflicts and characters, teaching students to master the easier parts before they participate in a whole debate. If the structured arguments seem strange to you at first, remember that you learn lots of forms in other subjects: the form of the persuasive essay for writing about literature, the form of the syllogism for formal logic, the form of equations in mathematics, the form of the scientific method, and the form of sentence diagrams in English grammar. Debate is just one more form to master.
