+Rhetorical Strategy:

Get into groups of two or three students, matching colored papers to determine your partners.

We need to do this quickly, so just spin your desks around.

The groups will be joining another as we move through the assignment, so don’t lose hope if you are not in a group with people you know.

Take notes throughout this exercise because the work you do here will likely fuel your homework.

Using dialogue to explain and describe

Initial seating arrangement

+Step 1: 15 minutes

Read the statement on your paper and assume that the statement is a true representation of your own beliefs and point of view on that issue.

Everyone in your first group should have the same prompt.

Brainstorm with your partner(s) and write down as many reasons as you can in support of the statement.

Stay in the role as best you can. Remain focused on generating solid support for the proposition you have been assigned.

Please move to this configuration

+Step 2: 10 minutes:

You should now have blended two groups who have the same color paper to make one larger group of four, five, or six. You should still all have the same prompt.

One person from each original group should read aloud the reasons in support of the proposition, idea, or issue.

The new, larger group should compile a new, better list by eliminating weaker evidence and creating a strong list of reasons.

Please join tables this way

+Step 3: 20 minutes

You should be in groups of eight/ twelve. You should have people supporting two different aspects of one issue. You should now have two different colored prompts in your group.

Persuasion Dialogue: Have a dialogue, working to persuade those on the other side to come to your side. Remember, you should both offer your opinions and counter their suggestions.

You will use the fodder from this exercise to do your homework!
