Debate Topic - Globalization

[loftedcub]

Here is a lesson on debate. The topic is globalization but you can change the topic to fit this format if you want. The lesson introduces debate in general, language, and then debate structure.

Great, thanks for the post! A few of my students and I just recently started a debate club at our high school and this will work wonders with them.
 

I especially like the sentences to start a debate with. This is very useful for Korean students who want to learn how to debate in English.

PS: If you're looking for some inspiration in relation to debates, check out the movie "The Great Debaters" with with Denzel Washington. It's moving! I think I'm gonna watch clips from it tomorrow during our club.

Cheers!
