Updated for 2026, this three-part Lincoln-Douglas debate set helps students build skills from the fundamentals through case writing, philosophical frameworks, refutation, cross-examination, judge adaptation, and tournament preparation.

Your download is one ZIP containing three books, each in editable Word and print-ready PDF formats: a 95-page textbook, a 93-page student workbook, and a 101-page teacher guide.

The nine-chapter course includes 36 activities, including nine games and nine performance assignments; three 50-item assessments; and a 167-term glossary. The teacher guide provides full answer keys, model reasoning, acceptable alternatives, and scoring rubrics.

Topic-neutral fictional examples support practice without depending on a current resolution. Source and competition-rule guidance identifies the editions checked for this revision. Always consult the current rules for your tournament.
