Project 3

Last week we wrote formal letters remember?

Lesson goals

• Learn (more) about debates
• Learn about the expressions: Agreeing and disagreeing
• How to hold a debate and apply the relevant ideas to your topic
• Practice our speaking skills 

Today

Project 4 will be an in-class debate. Today we will practice this. 

How does this work?

1. Speaker 1 (group A) introduces the argument, and what they think of it.
2.  Speaker 2 (group B) Gives their own argument
3. Speaker 3 and 4 repeat these steps + counters the argument,  and give a closing argument
4. Groups C and D will judge and vote on the matter

And now....

Research and prepare for the debate!
