Parli protocol

PARLI PROTOCOL. ONCE A MONTH PARLI SPECIFIC TRAINING WORKSHOP.

Dates & Time: 2nd Friday of the month @ 2:00pm-3:30pm* (Sept 12th, Oct 10th, Nov 14th, Dec 12th)

Cost: $99/semester

Imagine that you are sitting in on a session of the British Parliament at work. It is a rather hectic sight. There is knocking, shouting, interrupting, and it all combines to make a very animated governmental debate. Now imagine that you took the exciting elements of the British Parliament and you put some more rules and structure into it. You would get high school Parliamentary Debate, or Parli. Once a month Coach Griffith will cover the format of Parli, how to structure Parli cases for fact, value, and policy resolutions, how to effectively research during prep time, how to handle motions, and how to win on opposition. We will also spend time analyzing rounds, potential resolutions, and real world arguments. Students will have the opportunity for practice rounds!

Please note, the class schedule may be adapted in the event that class times conflict with major tournaments.

Note: If the class receives low registration this class may be cancelled or changed. In the event that it is cancelled you will be fully refunded.

* Class is an hour and a half long. However, Coach Griffith often graciously offers additional time to work with students who need to work on cases, speeches, and arguments - often 15-30 minutes extra, especially on weeks when they’re doing practices.
