DEBATE - Contents for February

Dear kids,

The idea is to have an exam with very similar characteristics to the one we had last week.

Don't forget to study the following: (for the written part)

- Debate dynamics (teams, motion, roles in a debate)
- Types of DATA (quotes, statistics, anecdotes, research)
- The ARE Method ( Assertion - Reasoning - Evidence): explanation, reasons for using it, examples/practice.
- Different ways of refutting
- Persuasive techniques
- Body language

Please, make sure that you have all the photocopies in your folder. If not, send me an email and let me know!

Oral part:
You will have to prepare a speech based on the debate competition format.

The motion will be: "INTERNET BRINGS MORE HARM THAN GOOD"

1ST SPEAKER- PROPOSITION TEAM: ANDY
1ST SPEAKER - OPPOSITION TEAM: GASTÓN
2ND SPEAKER- PROPOSITION TEAM: VALENTINA

Make sure to write a speech in which you include EVERYTHING you are supposed to say to comply with your role.  You MUST share it with me in a Google Drive, so I can check it beforehand.


Enjoy your holidays, and study a lot! If you need something, PLEASE let me know :)

Love,
Tati
