Debate Activity

Why debate? To practice argument in presentation style To think on your feet, so to say Using ethos, pathos, logos-persuasion and antithesis

Format: A set of speakers for each side of the issue Each speaker is to use note cards, sheet, etc., synthesized from Opposing Viewpoints in Context research Teams may flip a coin to determine speaker order Speakers should take notes during opposing speaker presentations for Crossfire questions

Set up Team A-Speaker 1—3 min limit Team B Speaker 1—3 min. limit Timeout-3 minute Crossfire (between A1 &B1) 4 minute time limit Team A speaker 2—3 min Team B speaker 2—3 min Timeout-3 minute Crossfire (between A2 &B2) 4 min limit Timeout 3 min Grand crossfire-Speakers 1 and 2 from Team A and Team B-4 people altogether-4 min A1-summary-2 min (be thinking of rebuttals during this time!) B1-summary-2 min A2-Last Shot-2 min B2-Last Shot-2 min

Research instructions Each speaker for a side will coordinate with and develop at least 3 facts and 3 expert opinions that are different than their partner for their initial presentations. At the end of case researching and writing, each speaker’s cases should be checked to be sure they reflect the following elements: 1. Each speaker for each side of the issue opens with a different set of 3 arguments 2. They fit the time limit 3. Numbers, facts, and expert opinions are incorporated

Crossfire Instructions During the Crossfire period, both speakers have the floor and may ask and answer questions during the 2-minute period. The participants are instructed to keep questions and answers succinct; rudeness should not be tolerated. In the Grand Crossfire all four students have the floor. The first question must be posed by the team which did not speak just prior to the Crossfire period.

Summary Speaker Instructions Summary speakers will take notes of the most compelling reasons presented by themselves and their partner that are most likely to counter the arguments of their opponents and will rebuild audience connections by refocusing upon the central issue.

Student Tips=Success 3 articles selected for each side Organize info on sheets or notecards Organize enough information for your opening statement and coordinate with your partner to make sure you are not both presenting the same information. Create questions that you can ask your opponents during the Crossfires. These should be on sheets of papers or note cards for easy reference. Anticipate that your opponents will ask many questions in the Crossfires. Prepare answers to them on sheets of paper or note cards. What questions would you ask if you were on the opposing team? Prepare a powerful final conclusive argument/statement which will be written at the end of your debate. This should be no longer than 2 minutes. Take notes during the debate to tailor this statement to your team’s strengths and your opponents’ weaknesses.
