There’s nothing like introducing an argument to get students involved with the topics you’re teaching. Framing these subjects in a debate format helps them get invested and form a passion for research and learning outside the classroom.
The debate format in this book gets the whole class involved in the discussion in a fun and challenging way—way better than a lecture! These debates are all high school appropriate, and will help you stimulate discussions and improve the involvement of your students.
Topics range across subjects such as: political and economic systems, climate, geography, cartography, and much more. Of course, debates are not limited to the topics in this book—once you have the format down, you can create your own debate subjects!
Enclosed you will find ready-to-use debate lessons for your students, as well as different debating styles, a scoring rubric, and ideas on how to expand and extend each debate. Follow-up questions are also included for each topic, to ensure that each student truly comes away from the debate with a well-rounded knowledge of the subject.
Available as a digital download and in paper versions.
