3. Persuasive Groups
Topics:
1. Cell phones in school (during class too)
2. Everyone should go to college; it IS for everyone
3. Homework should be assigned often
Each group member needs to be responsible for all parts of the assignment.
This assignment is graded on an INDIVIDUAL basis.
STEP 1:
All groups need to make a list of 10 "points" or arguments for each topic.
*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.
GROUP LEADERS: It is YOUR job to lead the discussion about arguments and topics.
*You also need to assign an order in which those arguments will be presented during the debate.
*Let your group know when they will be going depending on the topic they choose.
