Summary "Elements of Debating: A Manual for Use in High Schools and Academies" by Leverett S. Lyon is an instructional manual intended for students, particularly those in high schools and academies, and was written in the early 20th century. This guide aims to equip novice debaters with essential skills in argumentation and debate, emphasizing clarity, structure, and effective communication. The opening of the manual introduces the concept of argumentation as a fundamental form of discourse, detailing its various forms—such as narration, description, exposition, and, importantly, argumentation itself. Lyon emphasizes that argumentation serves to convince an audience of a particular belief, highlighting its everyday applications in personal conversation, sales, politics, and even legal arguments. He sets the stage for understanding debate as a structured form of oral argumentation governed by specific rules and conditions, differentiating it from casual discussions. The initial lessons establish core principles that students will build upon as they learn to conduct successful debates effectively. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
