As summer approaches and your parents fill your schedules with camps and vacations, I feel it's important to offer you some educational time-wasters. To start off, I'd like to introduce you to Sporcle.
www.sporcle.com
Sporcle was shown to me by some students back in 2010 and I've been addicted ever since. It's quizzes on a variety of subjects. I like the quizzes of the day and I also like the sports, movies and geography categories. As debaters/speakers, it's important to fill your head with some of the things featured in these quizzes. So, start an account, be my "friend" and we'll battle each other. No cheating (opening another window and looking up answers). By the time you're done, you'll know more Presidents, countries, capitals, historical events, than you really care to know, but it will help you when it comes to giving speeches and even doing improv. A friend of mine is fond of saying "The more you know, the more jokes you get." Sporcle makes life funnier. Happy sporcling to you, my friends.
