Week 7 - Debating.
You will have one of the following topics to debate on.
You may not agree with the side you are on, however it is important to be able to argue each side of a debate.
1: Should students have to wear school uniforms?
2: Should children have to do chores at home?
Use the following as a guide for your team to plan for your debate.
Structure the speeches
Introduce the idea of the speech structure on the board:
Introduction – who are you and what do you stand for?
Rebuttal – unless you are the first speaker, you’d say “first lets take a look at what we heard from the previous speaker” and disagree with their points.
Point One – “Now onto my points”
Evidence (facts, analogies, examples, imagery or authority to support your reasoning)
Point Two – Name, Explanation, Evidence
Point Three – Name, Explanation, Evidence
Reminder – remind the audience of the three points you have covered
