The Georgia Debate Union has produced a letter for high schools to use while recruiting students to their debate teams.

It emphasizes the benefits of debate, including for college admissions, research skills, travel, and fun.

Please feel free to download and use this whenever necessary.

I hope there will be a nice video next with Casey and the gang talking about these same points so students can email the link to cohorts, school administrators, and the like.

Also, I hope UGA Debate would put together a DVD collection that would serve as a supplement for high school teachers - it could include a lesson plan, cover basic topics, give tips on how to start a paperless program from scratch, provide sample debates (both for analysis and flow practice).  Might be a nice project for an undergraduate honors speech communication class.  Send every public high school in Georgia a set over time.
