About

WELCOME! This experimental series serves to help anyone learn the process of preparing for a debate! I'll take you through the journey of what a debater does to prepare for a tournament! The topic we will be simulating debate is: The United States should establish a comprehensive bilateral trade agreement with Taiwan. (This is the same topic that will be debated at the National Speech and Debate Tournament hosted by the NSDA in June!)

About the Tutor

Hey! I'm Stella and I'm a senior (G12). I have been an avid speaker and debater since middle school and I think that Speech and Debate empowers people, so I want to come on here to give people the opportunity to develop their own voice! I also love history and love talking about all the stories and all the connections we have to one other throughout the vast span of time. Together, I hope to bring some fun new content onto schoolhouse so that everyone can enjoy history and speaking with me!
