6-8 SAMPLE LESSON
From Our Trial Class on August 9th
During this lesson, our students introduced themselves and talked about some facts about themselves. They then went over the basic structure of a debate round before voting on the topic that they most wanted to discuss. They then brainstormed arguments for each side and went through a mini debate round using the structure they had learned earlier in the lesson.
