The Steps:
1. A central statement will be announced to the class and we will define the two sides
of the debate (Agree/Disagree).
2. You will move to the side
of the room with the position that you intend to defend.
3. A timer will be set for 5 minutes, and the debate will start between the two groups.
4. Be concise and attempt to keep you contributions to less than 30 seconds each. The goal is to have an up-tempo debate, where the arguments for and against the prompt are batted back and forth with quick, verbal strokes. When the timer goes off, the conversation is immediately over.
5. A new prompt is displayed and we start another round of quick debates.
