Topics for the September 24th Scramble
1) Schools should require cameras in classrooms 2) Vegetarian diets do more harm than good *These two topics are prepared by the new debaters prior to the Scramble on Sept. 24th. Remember that the September 24th Scramble is only for new debaters - novice level. |
During each Saturday tournament, three-person teams participate in 4-5 debates consisting of 4-5 different topics. The topics are announced approximately one month in advance.
This may seem confusing but the students understand and embrace the format. Claremont McKenna College has pioneered an approach that engages students in complex material but is easy to learn for students.
