Persuasive Debate



Persuasive Debate

Directions: In groups, you will choose a persuasive topic for your final speech. Two will be the affirmative (pro) and the other two will be the negative (con). Through extensive research, your team will present a debate that clearly defines and defends both sides of the issue. Both sides must select a resolution. Speech will be between 16-18 minutes long.

Things to include:

Group outline
Group works cited (at least 6 sources)
Intro/Conclusion for each “side”
Visual(s)

What I’ll be looking for within the speech:

Delivery
Use of resources (How well you defend your “side”)
Refutation: attack the other side’s reasoning and/or evidence
How well you work together
Use of visual(s)
Citing!
Fluidity of back and forth debate 

Important Dates:

11/20: Email topic to be approved
11/29: Email informal outline
11/20, 11/27, 12/06, 12/13: Work in groups
12/18 & 12/20: Debate
