Debate Slides
I decided to make all my debate presentations publicly available here. You’re welcome!
These presentations should be short and sweet. These slides provide only the "input or "instruction" part of the lesson. Most of each lesson should be guiding the students to practice these skills.
Debate is like a buy one get one free class because it’s two classes in one: the FORM of debate theory and concepts like critical thinking, reading, writing, listening, and speaking but also the CONTENT of the debate topic with its historical background, various topic-related concepts. Here are the PPTs to teach the FORM of debate:
