Service Description
In Democracy and Debate ("D & D") we will have fun exploring core concepts of democracy such as voting and elections, making and passing laws, and understanding different levels of government from local offices to Federal branches of checks and balance system. The debate portion of class will encourage each student to use their voice and opinions as a tool for organizing, sharing, and expressing varying viewpoints in a respectful, confident manner. Through games, role playing, mini-debates and discussion there will be plenty of opportunity to dive into Democracy and Debate in fun and meaningful ways. By the end of class, students will understand our government structure, how to critically think, listen effectively, and use the power of their voice.
