We’ve merged the best aspects of traditional textbooks and workbooks to create an interactive, innovative resource that encourages students to actively engage in the learning process. Our Flexbook covers all aspects of Public Forum Debate, from fundamental concepts to advanced strategies. Students will learn about debate formats, argument construction, research, and evidence evaluation, as well as techniques for effective communication, critical thinking, and collaboration. The interactive nature of our Flexbook allows students to not only read and understand the material, but also to apply their knowledge through practical exercises and activities.
In addition to the comprehensive content provided in our Public Forum Flexbook, we place a strong emphasis on application activities that help students apply and practice the new information they learn. Our Flexbook includes a variety of engaging exercises, such as interactive simulations, application activities, and classroom discussions, which allow students to put their debate skills to the test in real-world scenarios. These hands-on activities not only reinforce the material but also promote deeper understanding and long-lasting retention. By offering practical opportunities for students to hone their skills, our Flexbook goes beyond passive learning, enabling students to actively develop their critical thinking, research, and communication abilities.
One of the primary goals of Champion Press is to make speech and debate more accessible to students and reduce the barriers to entry for new teachers. We understand that debate can be intimidating, especially for those with limited experience. With our Public Forum Flexbook, we aim to demystify the debate process and empower both students and educators to succeed in this dynamic and rewarding activity.
