How to run a quick debate
- Spin for a topic and split into two sides.
- Give each side two minutes to prepare.
- One minute each to make the case, then one minute each to answer.
- Vote, but only for the better argument, not the side you agree with.
In the classroom
Have students argue the side they disagree with. It is the best way to learn that there are good reasons on both sides, and Just for fun is a good warm-up.
