QUICK BREAK
After 45-60 minutes, your brain (and body!) needs a bit of a breather. Grab some water and a snack or use the washroom. But be back on time. We're about to start the super fun stuff!

TEAM (or SOLO) PREP
Depending on the course, you will either split up into teams (for debates) or work on your own (for speeches). Coaches are around the entire time to guide you and help you get ready.
DEBATE OR SPEECH
This is the moment you've been waiting for! Put your newly-learned skills to the test in an exciting and competitive debate or practice public speaking round. It's your time to shine!
/noun-screen-sharing-4143341-0084DA.svg)
EXPERT FEEDBACK
After announcing who won the debate (or speech challenge), Coach will share team feedback. Personal feedback might be shared now or for you to view later on the LL Platform if time is limited.

TILT
Coach will ask you what you learned and you can reply with, "Today I Learned That..." This helps consolidate skill progress. Plus - you get a head start on your Reflection Activities!
Your Coaching Team
Yes, you read that right. You have a whole team of Coaches working to help you! Experienced, fun, and often funny, your Coach will work with you for at least one Season (12 lessons) and often longer.
We think it's a great idea to spend extended time with one coach, but not exclusively work with the same person always. Every Coach, like every person, has their own strengths.
