The last series of debates this semester uses the format of Parliamentary Debate. If you do a search on Wikipedia you will find a great deal of background information on this form of debate. For our parliamentary debates, we will have three possible topics. Just prior to the debate, we will draw one of the topics. After we have the topic, the teams will flip for sides. The three topics we will use include:
1. Minors accused of school bullying resulting in a death should be charged as an adult with a felony crime.
2. The United States should ban capital punishment.
3. The state of Israel is morally justified in its policies toward the West Bank and the Gaza Strip.
These debates will be a team debate activity. More information and the timeline will be posted this week on this site.
