5. Etiquette for Effective Structured Controversies Be respectful of each other. Disagree with another person's position and ideas but don't be critical of the person. Don't take criticism of your ideas as a personal attack. Listen to everyone's ideas, especially if you don't agree with them. Change your mind when the evidence supports this. Try to understand both sides of the controversy. Understand the position differences before trying to reach consensus. Focus on reaching the best outcome, not on winning.

6. Assessment of the Structured Controversy 1.Teacher observation during preparation/discussion 2.*An individual written response answering the question, citing evidence 3.Self- and peer-assessment of performance
