That’s right-alongside each of our new debate videos, we’re giving you Debate Packs packed with extra resources to make your Class Meetings even more engaging, informed, and fun!

But now, we’ve done all the heavy lifting for you!
What’s Inside Your Weekly Debate Pack?
Each Debate Pack comes with everything you need to confidently lead a dynamic and balanced discussion, every single week. Here’s what you’ll find:
