*FIVE points should be pro (for) the topic
*FIVE points should be con (against) the topic
All members should try to contribute.
STEP 2:
Each member of the group should take one argument each from the pro and con side (of EVERY ARGUMENT).
*This means, each member will be responsible for being able to present ONE pro argument and ONE con argument for EACH TOPIC
*Real life examples to back up your point/argument is most effective.
STEP 3:
Each member should be prepared to talk about whatever point/argument they are responsible for one minute.
*During our debate you will be able to have your paper in front of you.
*It would be helpful to have your points/arguments for each topic written out in a way that makes sense to you.
