Judge Spanish Debate – No Prior Experience Needed!
The Minnesota Urban Debate League, a program of Augsburg University, will begin its Spanish Debate League next week. We’re looking for judges for our first tournament! If you’d rather be paid than volunteer, we will pay $55 for three rounds of judging, or 1 tournament.
Spanish Debate League tournaments will happen over 3 dates this spring:
Wednesday, April 10 | Highland Park High School
Wednesday, April 24 | Central High School (tentative)
Wednesday, May 8 | Highland Park High School (tentative)
Judges will observe rounds conducted completely in Spanish, determine winners for each round, and provide comments to help students improve their reading, critical thinking and Spanish language skills.
Students who participate in Spanish Debate League are a mix of heritage speakers and immersion students in Twin Cities high schools and middle schools. Participation in debate helps students improve their academic skills, including reading comprehension and critical thinking, and increases their confidence. Be a part of creating these outcomes for our Spanish Debate League students!
Please email mnudl@augsburg.edu if you have any questions or would like to arrange volunteering as a group. If you plan on judging as an individual, use the calendar at this link to choose your dates to judge.
