For New and Returning Debaters.
DramaZone® is a Premier Afterschool Organization for Arts and Sports since 2004. We have created a continuing custom Debate curriculum for children, taught citywide at over 35 schools including the city’s foremost private and public schools giving children the confidence to speak their mind. One of our activities is called Debate Chess to help children navigate their choices and sharpen their listening.
Effective speaking begins with effective listening, paired with the ability to organize winning arguments. These are skills to last a lifetime. Children formulate and execute informed arguments based on modern day and common place topics and events. They develop and use dialogue, critical thinking, logic to support their positions. Analysis of speeches, interactive speech games and development of public speaking skills round out this class.
