This 17 week course introduces students to the foundations of argumentation, logical thinking, and structured debate. Through engaging activities, students learn how to build clear arguments, identify logical fallacies, weigh impacts, and understand basic media literacy. As the weeks progress, learners practice applying persuasive techniques, analyze rhetorical devices, and strengthen their ability to think critically in real time. The curriculum gradually deepens students’ reasoning skills while helping them become confident, organized thinkers. By participating in activities such as Parli debates, the Hot Air Balloon game, rhetorical device workshops, and quad debates, students gain hands-on experience evaluating ideas, forming strategies, and responding to opposing viewpoints. The course culminates in a polished final presentation where each student showcases their ability to structure arguments, apply rhetorical tools, and communicate complex ideas with clarity and purpose.
