Go to www.nflonline.org and look at Public Forum Debate. There are free resources for teachers. Public Forum is the easiest form of debate to do in class. It is also a partner debate. I would have the students research both sides of the topic and then on the day of debate flip a coin and have that decide which team debates which side and which team speaks first. If you have any questions, or cannot find the proper resources just let me know. I have a bunch of items.

We are going to be reading *The House of the Scorpion*. I need some help thinking about the final project for the book. I'm thinking holding a debate although I've never facilitated one before and I'm unsure how to go about guiding the students. Just looking for suggestions/resources for getting them started. Thanks. _______________________________________________ Mosaic mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe or modify your membership please go to http://literacyworkshop.org/mailman/options/mosaic_literacyworkshop.org.
