From learning how to build a strong argument to practicing compelling delivery, students will be introduced to a variety of ASDA event formats—including both speech and debate styles. This class emphasizes clear, conversational persuasion over speed or technicality, making it perfect for curious beginners or confident speakers looking for a new challenge. No prior experience required or commitment to future competitions.
