Hi everyone, 
​
​We've finished our opinion presentations, and now we'll be doing debates for the last part of our course. 

Debate Topics:

After speed discussion, you chose your second debate topic with your partner. For both debate topics, you can find information about the "for" and "against" positions in the Discussion Skills --> debate topics section. 

If you need more information to complete your worksheet, you can do your own research. This is a useful website with additional information for your debates: http://www.procon.org

Debate Structure:
We then learned how to organise your debate. Each debater will give two reasons for his/her position. However, each debater will have to attack the reason (=disagree) of his/her partner. 

Remember to use opinion and disagreeing expressions, which we have learned in class since the beginning of our course. 

Homework:
  1. Complete debate #1 worksheet
  2. Practice your debate
