|
The Middle School Public Debate Program (MSPDP) is an extracurricular program for working on a middle school student's public speaking and debating skills. It was founded in 2002 by Claremont McKenna College. MSPDP has their own format of debate, based on parliamentary style. Unlike traditional parliamentary debate, there are 6 speeches instead of 8. Currently, there are around 400,000 students enrolled. The format consists of 6 speeches, alternating between the proposition and opposition sides. Typically, speeches are 5 minutes long. Each team, in the month leading up to the tournament, creates contentions, or main points. |
