About the Book

Have you ever wanted to be a cool and confident debater? This book can help! The book examines the principles of the MSPDP format in middle school debating and offers invaluable advice on researching a topic, structuring and presenting your arguments, working with your debate team members, and impressing your judges on the big day! The book also demonstrates how debating can improve your presentation skills and broaden your knowledge of national and global issues.

Review :
Explains what a debate is, how to prepare an argument and rebuttal, questioning, presentation skills, and formats. Photos and flow charts. Facts and descriptions are accurate and consistent with the story and setting. Recommended--Karen Egger, Keller Middle School Clark County School District Library ServicesMarch 2010-- "Clark County School District Library Services" Good attempts to cover a variety of topics (nutrition, sports, puberty, role models, making friends) but fails to provide substantial information on any of them. For example, eating well is discussed, but exactly what makes certain foods nutritious is never explained. Advice is abundant (do not "show that you are...scared" when being bullied) with few or no references. The discussion of anorexia/bulimia needs a firmer conclusion than simply to get "help from a medical professional." The end-of-chapter quizzes seem contrived and do not add to the content. The chapter "How You Feel Inside" talks about becoming "withdrawn and remote," but fails to address the more serious topic of depression. This title has nothing to add to the plethora of teen self-help and nutrition titles available. Spilsbury's titles are more successful in that they use constructive examples and relate the topics to teens' lives. Anger gives an overview of the emotion and how it affects teens, including bullying, self-mutilation, and dealing with hostility in others. Readers needing a self-help book, however, will have to look elsewhere. Together covers methods for creating, building, and managing an effective team. Both texts are unassuming and breezy in tone. End-of-chapter quizzes make the information more personal. These are solid purchases for libraries in need of the subject matter. Photos for all three titles are clear, in color, and represent various ethnicities, ages, and backgrounds. Richelle Roth, Wilmington Public Library, OH School Library Journal-- "School Library Journal" This series functions as a guide for planning or successfully undertaking projects at home, school, or in the community. Information contained is brief, and each section is labeled clearly, such that this series can be used for ready reference or beginning research to develop these specific life skills. The texts are quick reads, though more time will be needed to apply the advice. Each volume includes quiz questions, further reading, photographs, and charts, and should prove to be useful to students independently planning projects and events. Glossary. Index. Additional Selection. Jodi Kearns, PhD, University of Akron (Ohio) Library Media Connection 8/25/2009-- "Library Media Connection" This series shares a similar structure and features for all the books, while adding some subject specific information. It's written to appeal to young readers and challenges them to try out the skills presented. This user-friendly format is a strength, but some of the illustrations and photos are too deliberately posed and artificial. Also, most teachers and librarians would not recommend Google, Yahoo or other general search engines as the best starting place for net research, preferring more stable subscription database. Recommended--A. Chamberlin, Librarian, UDHS Delaware County Library SystemMay 2009-- "Delaware County Library System"
