Clear Lake High School – Debate III (Honors/GT)

Mar 2026 · 2nd Semester

Additional fees will be required. This course may satisfy English IV graduation requirements but may not meet college admission requirements for English. In this course, students gain in-depth knowledge of argumentation techniques, research for a specific purpose, and demonstrate speaking as a persuasive skill. They should be able to compete on a weekend basis (requirements vary by individual high school; check with sponsors for specific requirements). Literature and its presentation are integral to understanding the cultural aspects of a society. Students in Oral Interpretation III will select, research, analyze, adapt, interpret, and perform literary texts as a communication art. Students focus on intellectual, emotional, sensory, and aesthetic levels of texts to attempt to capture the entirety of the author's work. Individual or group performances of literature will be presented and evaluated.
