Competitive Speech and Debate

Teacher/Coach:  Mrs. Hoge

Room: E-2

Overview

By enrolling in this course, you have agreed to be an active part of the Snake River Speech and Debate Team. Weekend tournament competition is mandated for students enrolled in Debate. The goal of the Snake River Speech and Debate program is to provide all active members an opportunity to succeed; this can only be accomplished if everyone acts in the best interests of the school and the team.

Debate as a class is unlike any other course you may be offered during your high school experience. It will involve after-school and weekend participation. In fact, tournament competition is part of the state's debate curriculum. As such, the following is part of this program:

  First-year "novice" students are to earn at least two tournaments "credits," advanced team members must earn at least three. 
  When required, all team members are expected to recruit judges for tournaments. Judges can be parents, siblings, adult friends of the family, former high school or current college debaters, etc. Our team may be required to provide a certain number of judges per tournament in order to be eligible to compete. We will train these individuals to judge, and I guarantee they will be impressed with the experience.
  Debate is a program that requires extra time after school hours and the ability to supply your own materials in order to successfully achieve the program's objectives.
  Fundraisers:  If the team agrees, we will try to organize one or two fundraisers to supplement our program.  We will attempt to keep fundraising to a minimum, but to do this we need the participation of everyone. If you choose not to participate, you may elect to donate a targeted profit in its place. Fundraising is necessary to allow our team to travel and be competitive at the local, regional and national level.

There are numerous debate and forensic events. You will learn about, and have assignments dealing with, each of the following over the course of the school year:

 
The Grading Scale
A = 90-100 B = 80-89 C = 70-79 D = 60-69 F = 0-59

TOURNAMENT COMPETITION CREDIT IS 30 PERCENT OF YOUR GRADE! This is because the debate tournament represents this course. "Participation" means more than just "showing up" and observing the action; it means doing your research and taking on an active role in the tournament forum.
THE REST OF YOUR GRADE - 70 PERCENT - WILL BE BASED ON A PERCENTAGE-OF-TOTAL-POINTS SYSTEM. Points will be awarded for research assignments, in-class practice rounds, quizzes, tests, papers, and any other type of assignment that is presented.
Late assignments: The instructor frowns on assignments being turned in late. Students have a one-class "grace" period in which to turn in assignments late. These assignments will earn a maximum of 70 percent of the highest grade possible. Any assignments turned in after this grace period will receive a "zero."
Late performances: Missing a scheduled in-class debate performance affects many people other than you. If you are absent when scheduled to debate, you must make arrangements to make up the assignment as soon as possible with any or all of the following: your partner, your opponent(s), and myself. If you are absent on more than two scheduled in-class speech or debate performance days, it will begin to affect your grade severely (long-term illnesses are exceptions). Late performances are penalized one letter grade per day.
If you sign up to attend a tournament and bail out after the tournament closes registration, you will be charged a $50 drop fee per event. This is avoidable if proper planning and arrangements are made.
You are expected to pay $15 fee for your first two genres of debate/speech (i.e. speech, congress, LD, Policy, Public Forum) and any after that are free. You must also have paid for an activity card and must pay your travel fee. There is evidence and scripts available for additional cost.
Materials You Will Need

1. One three-ring binder with pockets
2. Ink pens (black or blue ink only)
3. Loose leaf notebook paper
4. Timer

Debate involves extensive research, writing, and cooperation, as well as public speaking. You might not care for every step of the process, but they are all needed to perform at your best.
Classroom Conduct

1. You will clean up after yourself. Trashing the room results in an unhappy instructor.

2. You will raise your hand before asking a pertinent question. No inappropriate remarks of any sort shall be tolerated. Failure to respect another speaker (this includes the instructor!) through talking, sleeping, gestures, studying or doing homework for other classes, playing cards, listening to CDs, reading newspapers or magazines, playing guitar, etc., results in an unhappy instructor.
3. You will not leave the classroom without approval.
4. You will write down information thy instructor presents.  The instructor guarantees it will be important to you.
5. You will not throw objects in the room, as it is dangerous and prohibited. Writing on desks is a form of malicious destruction of property and is prohibited. Swearing, sexual references, use of hateful language toward or about gender, sexual orientation, race, religion, etc., and any other verbal, written or physical language that can be interpreted as any of these by students or the instructor are prohibited.  All additional prohibited behaviors are listed in your student handbook.
6. You will not cheat (this includes plagiarism), for it is a prohibited behavior and will result in an automatic "zero" for the assignment or exam.
7. You will show proper respect for yourself, your instructor, your peers, and your environment. You are embarking on a future as thinking, functioning members of the adult human society; as such, your attitude, attire and ability to achieve and exceed guidelines are important.
8. You should be aware that unexcused absences, continual tardies, and an overabundance of early-release passes could have a bearing on my perception of you as a student.  Unexcused absences will result in a zero for any assignment due that day (see student handbook).
9. You will contribute to the class and share useful information as indicated.
10. Be aware that I expect 100 percent participation from 100 percent of the classroom for 100 percent of the class time each day. Live it, learn it, know it.
One more thing: I understand that you have other responsibilities and commitments outside this class. If you approach me with respect about a real concern, I will listen and then we will negotiate a fair resolution. I care about the people I teach and am willing to talk to you about concerns or suggestions you have regarding issues inside or outside this classroom.


Arynne Hoge

We understand and the student will abide by the guidelines, rules, and will submit all necessary work as stated in the syllabus.  The student will pay fees and by signing below, we grant permission for _________________________________ to attend events he/she signs up for. We understand that he/she must ride the bus to and from the event; and should he/she need to be picked up from the tournament, he/she will only be released to a parent or guardian after said parent or guardian meets face to face with the coach. Should the student obligate him/herself to a tournament, we understand that this commitment must be honored. If he/she must drop, we agree to pay the associated fees.

discussions and activities.

Students are expected to report to class on time and prepared for class. They will need a three ring binder, college ruled loose leaf paper, a spiral notebook, a blue or black ink pen, and a red pen.  Students who come to class unprepared (without book, paper, or writing implements) can receive a zero for that day.

Late Work Policy

For full credit, work must be turned in when the assignment is due. Work turned in the next
day will be graded down by two grades.  Daily assignments, however, cannot be turned in late, unless absence was excused.  Late work will not be accepted two weeks from the day it was originally due.

Make-up Work Due to Illness, Funerals, and School-Connected Activities

Students will be responsible for obtaining class notes and assignments. Students will be given
two (2) days for each day of excused absence to make up work missed. This includes tests and written assignments. If the test or written assignment is not made up within the allotted time, a zero will be entered into the grade book and the student will not be allowed to make up the test or written assignment.

Grades

Grades will be based on a100% scale grading system:
90% - 100%                                       A
80% - 89%                                         B
70% - 79%                                         C
60% - 69%                                         D
59% and below                                  F

Hall Passes

A student has three (3) opportunities to use the hall pass located in the student handbook. This
includes bathroom privileges, office meetings (unless requested by the office or the counselors)
and locker privileges. Library passes will also be included under hall passes unless library time
is assigned specifically by the teacher.

Classroom

Students may NOT bring food and or drink to class.  Students may bring water in a bottle as long as it is not  spilled or considered disruptive in any way.  If it is spilled, if gum is found under the desks, or containers are not disposed of properly, the student will be given custodial duties by the teacher after class. The student has three (3) days to complete custodial duties, which includes the day of the violation. The day of the violation, five (5) desks will be cleaned. If the violation is left to the second day, ten (10)
desks will be cleaned. If the violation is left to the third day, fifteen (15) desks will be cleaned. After the
third day, the student will be given one (1) hour of detention after school.

There will be no writing on the desks, nor may students sit on top of them.  Vandalism of school or personal property or throwing of objects in the classroom is not acceptable.  This type of behavior and other such violations will be dealt with on an individual basis by the teacher and the administration.

Students will abide by all school rules outlined in agenda…this means no phones, iPod’s, CD players, or any other device will be allowed in the classroom.  I will issue a verbal warning, but after that, I will take it and you will be written up and sent to Mr. Carter.
