Debate Class

Led by Lindsay Ehrman, Pleasantville Middle School social studies teacher. In Debate Class, students engage in various forms of debate and discuss their views on social, political, and scientific issues within our society. For many of the debates, students examine a variety of sources prior to forming opinions on an issue. Students are provided with strategies for respectfully challenging their peers and being effective debaters. This class is limited to students in Grades 7/8. The class is open to students from any school in these grades.
