- Summary:
-
This paper discusses the history, format, implementation, and effectiveness of Student Congress, a legislative session where students debate state, national, or international issues. The first part of the paper discusses the history of the Student Congress in the United States, noting that as it has grown as a national event, its importance as a speech activity has increased and its value as a simulation of political organizations has decreased. The second part of the paper presents a comparison of formats for competitive model student legislatures. The third part reviews the literature on the Student Congress, concluding that the perceived benefits for participants and its dramatic growth as a competitive event justify inclusion of Student Congress in the high school debate/forensic program. The fourth part of the paper reviews the three journal articles that were written as guides for the secondary classroom teacher who wishes to include Student Congress in the speech curriculum. The fifth part discusses two articles written by college directors of forensics who sponsored high school Student Congresses and were encouraging other college coaches to follow their example. The sixth part surveys scorekeepers and students to identify judging factors and student factors that contribute to the effectiveness of Student Congress. Contains 57 references and 3 tables of data. Appendixes present Biggers' handout on ethics and conduct, a table of most frequently used parliamentary motions, and three survey instruments. (RS)
