COURSE OVERVIEW                                                                                                                                                                                    
Congress Level 2 builds upon the foundational skills introduced in Level 1 and moves students toward more strategic, policy-driven, and globally aware debate. While maintaining the traditional Congressional Debate format, this level deepens students’ understanding of how laws interact with broader social, economic, and international contexts. 

 

Designed for students who have completed Level 1 or possess prior debate experience, this program challenges learners to think beyond basic argument structure and begin operating like young policymakers. Students refine their ability to draft more realistic Bills, incorporate funding and enforcement mechanisms, and anticipate stakeholder impact. Elements inspired by diplomacy and global affairs are introduced to strengthen perspective-taking, negotiation skills, and strategic thinking — all within the Congress framework. 

The objective of Level 2 is to develop persuasive clarity, policy realism, and chamber leadership. Students learn to compare impacts, weigh competing priorities, amend legislation strategically, and adapt their arguments under pressure. Greater emphasis is placed on rebuttal precision, ethical reasoning, and constructive compromise. 

 

By the end of the course, students will be able to deliver advanced authorship, sponsorship, and negation speeches with stronger impact analysis and diplomatic maturity. They will demonstrate improved floor strategy, policy drafting accuracy, and leadership presence in a full-scale Congress simulation.

CLASS ORIENTATION                                                                                                                                                                                 
• Students will receive an orientation in the first session. During the orientation, they will be briefed about class rules, homework, and expectations.
• Parents are required to attend a separate parent orientation on the first day of the course. During the orientation, they will be introduced to the course and classroom policies.

HOMEWORK                                                                                                                                                                                                  
• Students will be assigned some homework after each session. Completion of homework is highly recommended, so students can benefit from independent learning and apply the concepts that have been covered in class.

DEBATE SHOWCASE                                                                                                                                                                                    
• The final session is the Congress Showcase, where students will participate in a modified Congressional Debate. Students will debate a Bill or Resolution selected by the coaching team in front of a live audience. 

• Participation in the Congress Showcase is mandatory for course completion, and parents are warmly invited to attend. • The Congress Showcase serves as the primary evaluation of students’ learning outcomes. One Publique reserves the discretion to extend participation only to students whose performance, work ethic, and discipline meet the standards of the program. 

• If students are absent for more than two classroom sessions without completing approved make-up work, they may be excluded from the Congress Showcase. 

• Students who participate in the Congress Showcase will receive a Certificate of Completion and a Performance Video documenting their final debate.
