Building Arguments & Crafting Narratives
In preparation for the Takeover, our facilitator will educate students on how to build strong arguments and deliver them convincingly through storytelling and narrative flow.
The Adler Takeover
Can your child explain their thinking clearly – and hold it when the room pushes back?
On the final day, the facilitator sits down among the students, and each of them takes a turn leading the room. Your child opens a discussion on a topic we covered that week, states their opinion, and fields questions and observations from the room.
The Takeover itself isn’t structured as a debate. Some students may change their minds after hearing strong counter-arguments, or choose to continue defending their position if they remain unconvinced. The point is to identify not just the gaps in opposing arguments, but in their own as well.
What it builds is the ability to defend a position in a room of people looking for logical gaps, and to knowwhen to concede and when to keep defending. That will matter at any reputable university, and well into their careers – and no AI can build it for them.
