Teaching Debate in the Elementary Classroom Using debates in the classroom can help students grasp many essential critical thinking and presentation skills. Among the skills classroom debates can foster are: ~ abstract thinking ~ analytical thinking ~ citizenship/ethics/etiquette ~ cross-examination/questioning ~ point of view ~ distinguishing fact from opinion ~ identifying bias ~ organization of information ~ persuasion ~ public speaking ~ research ~ teamwork/cooperation In my Debate Handouts packet , I have information about evaluating the reliability of sources, analyzing arguments, organizing ideas for debate, and ideas for persuasive writing. In the upper elementary grades, fourth through sixth, debate topics must be appropriate to the grade level of the students. Many "contoversial issues" are about topics that would be inappropriate in the elementary classroom. Care should be taken in planning for debate issues that would not offend the beliefs and values of the students. Below is a list of possible topics: Animals Used in Research Bioengineered Foods Curfew Laws Geneteic Engineering Global Warming Milk Debate Minimum Wage Nuclear Proliferation Professional Athletes' Salaries School Uniforms School Vouchers Standardized Testing in Schools

The Immigration Debate in the Classroom 2007 Educators across the nation are struggling with the fallout from the highly charged national debate on the issues of immigration reform and border security. The angst and emotion involved in the conflict are spilling over into schools and classrooms as students stage walkouts and engage in shouting matches. Wise teachers and administrators will use this time as a valuable citizen education opportunity and a way to connect the history-social science curriculum to real world issues. Interpretation of primary documents, organized debates, editorial writing opportunities, close analysis of news media, and placing the controversy in historical, economic, and political context are all appropriate classroom activities. SCORE H-SS is providing the following resources to assist teachers in this process. As more materials become available, the site will be updated.

However, they often run into problems when asking questions. This is due to a number of causes: i.e., teachers are the ones that usually ask questions, the inversion of the auxiliary verb and subject can be especially tricky for many students. This simple lesson focuses specifically on the question form and helping students gain skill while switching tenses in the question form. Aim: Improving speaking confidence when using question forms Activity: Intensive auxiliary review followed by student gap question exercises.
