Classroom Debate – 10 key issues
Students are given a range of possible issues to debate.. Each pair of students will debate one of the focus points. One person in the pair will argue “YES” and the other will argue “NO”. During each debate, the rest of the class should take notes. At the end of each debate, each member of the class needs to produce a synthesis conclusion which will bring both sides of the argument together in a balanced judgement which will hopefully be acceptable to both sides.
