Ho, I just finished a debate class with G3. I did it as so - Ss sit in 2 teams of 2. 1 team will argue for one team against a set topic.Give the Ss a topic to debate e.g. computer games.Give Ss 3mins to prepare notes/think of ideas.Ss debate for 3mins, passing a straw every time they make a point,The team holding the straw at the end r the losers.Ss really enjoyed it and even though some cannot form long, detailed arguments everyone was at least speaking (shouting by the end!) I've attached the ppt, ignore the first few slides, they relate to another activity. Let me know if u have any Qs.
These are the books I use too! This seams like a popular posting so does anyone know how to locate lesson plans on Waygook pertaining to these specific text books?
