A practical guide to speaking and argument

Claire Duffy’s guide brings debating and public speaking together as learnable skills, covering preparation, reasoned persuasion, argument and rebuttal, as well as graciously handling a loss. Step-by-step examples and practical tips give the book a hands-on structure, while its attention to students, parents and teachers makes it relevant to the wider learning environment around speaking practice. The emphasis is on building familiarity with the process and making spoken contributions more considered.

Book overview

This book covers everything kids, parents and teachers need to know about debating and public speaking. Claire Duffy not only demystifies the process but makes it fun by drawing on her many years of experience working directly with students. Learn all about the best way to prepare, the persuasive power of reason, the art of argument and rebuttal and, when it comes to that, how to lose graciously. Including practical tips from the pros and helpful step-by-step examples, this is the essential handbook for making every spoken word count.
