THE GREAT DEBATEStudents vs. Teachers

The Showdown!

Process

We will be doing two statements There should be no school bag Homework should be banned

As a group (class groups) we will create our own speech using the ‘school bag’ statement

Individually students will write their own ‘Homework’ speech.

The best speech from each class will participate in a debate against the teachers and the winning group will get no homework

There Should Be no School Bag

In groups, students are to brainstorm reasons for the affirmative (meaning that the above statement is true)

Then write a debating speech that convinces people.

Should be banned!

HOMEWORK!!

Homework should be banned?

Affirmative = Students Negative = Teachers

Winners get no homework Losers get homework
