Solorio Academy High School – H Argumentative Literacy III (Debate)

Mar 2026 · 2nd Semester

Building on the work of Argumentative Literacy II, students will delve deeper into advanced theories of argumentation and will perform research using scholarly journal articles and books. Work will center on the national high school policy debate topic. In addition to instruction, class time will be used as a laboratory to prepare for tournaments by conducting collegiate-level research, constructing cases, analyzing arguments, participating in practice debates, and re-doing rebuttals in front of the instructor. Third and fourth year debaters enrolled in this class will be expected to adjudicate debates between first-year students and teach Solorio’s less experienced debaters. This class is reserved for Varsity debaters on Solorio’s Debate Team.
