Debate Foundations Starter Bundle | Opinion Writing & Perspective Taking | ClaimLore
Opinion writing and argumentative writing both start the same way: a clear claim a student can actually defend out loud. This bundle gives students just starting with debate and opinion writing a gentle, structured on-ramp, bundled together at a discount.
What is included
- Debate and Critical Thinking Curriculum: 26 lessons
- Opinion Writing Oral Rehearsal Cards
- Perspective Taking Scenario Cards
These materials work together to build the skills that come before formal debate: articulating opinions clearly, practising them out loud, and examining an issue from more than one viewpoint.
Who it is for
Upper elementary and early middle school teachers (grades 3-6) introducing opinion writing and perspective-taking before moving into structured debate. Each resource includes teacher notes so you can start teaching without building extra materials.

Hi, I'm Jerin Parker. I'm a debate and public speaking coach with almost ten years of teaching experience. Through competition, I earned the National Forensic League Quadruple Ruby, and I competed in debate and public speaking through high school and university in the TFA, UIL and NFL systems. I now coach World Scholar's Cup and SPAR debate. My ClaimLore resources use the Steelman Method: students argue the other side's case before making their own, so they learn to reason, listen, and speak with confidence.
