I was just wondering if anyone here participates in some sort of speech and debate/forensics team at their school. If there does happen to be anybody...put your events! ^^v

As for mine...oratory and extemp. I'm probably switching to Duo though...

hmmm...
I think this would serve better in the debate section.
MODS- move it if you feel like it should be in the Lounge.

~TOPIC MOVED to INTERESTS/DEBATE~

Eh, I was supposed to do Forensics this year but I got stuck with about 7-8 other clubs before it started so definately next semester or year?

Oh, and this has nothing to do with debating a topic. K thanks.

moved back to lounge and deleted other 2 moves becuase it looked ridiculous and incompetent (not that katie is, just you know)

i'm not in anything but we have a big debate team. like 15 people...i guess.

There is a debating team in my school that joins all sorts of debating competitions and friendly debates.

Also, some of my schoolmates are quite eager to join the hk schools' speech festival every year. I've never tried it before, maybe because I'm a shy person and I'm not good at public speaking at all.

Im in a program outside of school that does that type of stuff. I just went to nationals at the beginning of the month (I got into the top 6..yay) and I was in Extemp. speaking.

i LOVE my debate team... we f**kin rock.

yeah... i participated in a public speaking competion two weeks ago, which i one last year with my team mates, but unfortunately, we were beteen by another group from our school thois year... oh well. overall team victory

last week, we competed in the first round of the debate matters national debating competition, and our team went trough, winning both preliminary debates, and i personally won best individual.

we're hosting the european youth parliament next term, and the KE MUN is coming up

WOOT FOR MY DEBATE BITCHES

rae, annie, jess, andy, andy, george, alice, anna, tash, ollie, and paddy

Hmm, my school's speech and debate team is really good; we're like one of the best. But I wasn't really interested, I'm not that good at debating hah.

^x2

tash, ollie, and paddy?

those are the cutest names EVERRRR ;D are they girl or guy names..?

I was on my high school forensics team. I was one of the improvisational speakers. We don't have debate at my school now, but I am a part of Model UN.

I planned on joining Model UN or the Debate Team this year, but I couldn't find time to go to the meetings at all. It's too late now, but oh well.

lol

tash = natasha = girl
ollie = oliver = guy
paddy = patrick = irish guy

paddy is ADORABLE!! ...the name.

last year, i did OC and DDA
this year im doing DDA and HDA

Moved to School

Yay, you rock, as does Model UN.

my school has a debate team but i'm not in it and i wanted to join MUN but forgot to go to the call out meeting.
but yeah i'm taking speech class right now, it's mandatory

yeah, i do champ LD debate.. 3rd year.. tried extemp but ahem. got stuck in FX instead of novice and it wasn't exactly a pleasant experience. so its just good ol' debate for me.

i think we're the largest squad in the US or something. for NFL at least. our squad is huge.
yeah i just looked it up and we are.. wow.
thats cause everyone in my school wants to up their gpa cause debate is honors credit. also it pretty much gets you out of speech.
hahah.
