DEBATE INSTRUCTION SHEET

1) Get into 4 groups

2) As a group, read your prompt.

3) Decide who will write out the script for the debate.

4) Decide who is going to present the first round of the

debate.

5) Now that you have all that set up, reread the prompt

and consider an approach that you think would be affective. You can go for the emotional

approach and try to gain sympathy from your audience. You can go for the credibility

approach and discuss the matter through your personal experience. You could also

attempt to look at things in a more statistical perspective and give your audience the hard

facts and numbers regarding your position.

6) After you have picked an approach, begin pulling your evidence from the text that will be

useful to you.

7) Once you have that, try googling some information that will boost your debate approach.

There are also some sources included at the bottom of your prompt that may assist you

with building your case.

8) Keep in mind that you have 15 minutes to develop your argument if we want to actually

have the debate. Try to use all of the members of your group and be as thorough as

possible.

9) You will be coming up with 4 minutes worth of debate information. The first 2 minutes

of your information will be presented in the first round of debates. If you win, the second

2 minutes of your information will be used against your opponent.
