Impromtu Debates
Lots of topics can be found on the web, Promotes public speaking, critical thinking, and leadership abilities. Students really enjoy these.
Hi Paul,
Great idea! I have a very quiet class and used impromptu debates to get them to talk. I divided the class in half and told each side to take a position on the debate. Each side scored one for every valid point they made. The winning side got to leave class five minutes early. It really got them talking.
Best,
Laurence
Hi Paul,
The web provides us with an endless supply of information and options. Incorporating the web into the research and exploration efforts of our students is a great way to expand their knowledge base. Thanks for bringing it up for us.
