Wisconsin Forensics Daily (0)The National Federation of High Schools met last weekend to discuss next year’s policy debate topic.

07.25.08WFCA 2008-2009 Category Topics Released
Wisconsin Forensics Daily (0)For those wishing to get an early start on the season: The Wisconsin Forensics Coaches Association has released the 2008-2009 proposed topics for Special Occasion, Public Address, Storytelling, Moments in History, and Group Discussion.

Moments in History 1450-1650: Reformation, Age of Discovery, and High Renaissance Public Address 1. Internet Regulation: ...
