Sharing the Planet Debate
This week 4th grade had it's first official debate. The topic was simple; which of the 3 types of resources is the best? Students prepared by reflecting on the topic the night before, and having a quick review session before splitting into groups.
The Debate format was simple:
1 minute speeches from each team explaining their reasoning
preparation time
1 minute speeches attacking the other teams ideas
preparation time
1 minute closing speech (aka most important point)
A group discussion
