NM PED 2026 Literacy and Humanities Summer Conference

Unlock the power of debate to help your students master the art of organized writing. In this session, you will discover how to use core debate concepts as a framework for teaching structure, logic, and evidence-based claims. You will participate in a high-energy, debate-inspired activity, designed for immediate use in any classroom, and explore how to bridge the gap between spoken arguments and successful student compositions. By shifting the focus from static outlines to dynamic discourse, you will leave with practical strategies to help your students organize their thoughts more clearly and write with greater purpose and persuasion.
