$29.99
This curriculum teaches students to move beyond stating opinions to defending them through structured debate. It addresses the gap between having an opinion and being able to explain and support it.
What is included
- 26 full lesson scripts (Lessons 0-25), ready to teach with no slide deck to build
- Complete scope and sequence mapping all 7 units
- Teacher Companion Notes for each lesson: teaching focus, common mistakes, facilitation tips and differentiated scaffolding
- Three structured debates: two mini debates (Lessons 14 and 19) and a capstone practice debate (Lesson 24)
How it works
One skill is introduced at a time: choosing a position, giving a reason, adding an example, adding a second reason. Students progress from partner exchanges (by Lesson 9) to rebuttal skills (by Lesson 18) to running a complete debate (by Lesson 25).
Who it is for
- Teachers introducing debate to beginners
- Debate club coaches
- ELA and critical thinking educators
- Homeschool parents who want a structured curriculum
Format: digital PDF download.

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.
