DEBATE provides
an excellent opportunity for students to
use their skills of reading, thinking, writing,
speaking and listening.
Teams
of two students research a controversial
issue to collect facts and expert opinions
for/against a proposed change (stated as
a resolution). They prepare cases by using
these data and making inferences.
Teams
face opponents in timed speeches and
attempt to elicit judges' votes by stating
a strong case and refuting opponent's claims
with contradictory facts and explanations.
- Elementary students argue
either as an affirmative or a negative team.
- Intermediate students are
prepared to argue both affirmatively and
negatively.
- Participation in
the debate process
incorporates language arts skills, science
curriculum and social studies concepts.
