North Garner Middle School Debate Team

North Garner Middle School was in need of a debate team, so the other NGMS student teacher, Casey Poplin, and I created one! The team was successful in learning how to structure professional debates using clarity, projection, pronunciation, timing, and respect. It took a while for Ms. Poplin and I to figure out the whole afterschool vibe, but we think we did an excellent job. Our team met every Tuesday and decided that it should be called, “Trojan Perspective” based off of the school’s mascot. Kids were invited to bring snacks and ideas to the team each week, and we are very proud of how far they came with their debating skills.
