    Lesson Intro & Lesson Development:
    Each side will get multiple times to speak. Remember your job is to convince the other
    side whether we should or should not go to war with Great Britain. Everybody is
    required to speak at least once. Even if someone else says your reason, you should be

    able to elaborate on it as well. I will be keeping track of who speaks. I will also be
    keeping track of how respectful you are while you are listening and taking notes of
    your opponents and your use of information and/or statistics to convince your
    opponent.
    Write on board:
    Number of Speaking Times: At least one
    Respect for Other Team: All statements, body language, and responses were
    respectful and were in appropriate language
    Understanding of Topic: The team clearly understood the topic in-depth and
    presented their information with several relevant facts, statistics, and/or examples
    Each side will present one main argument at a time. Multiple students can elaborate
    on each reason. As your opponent is presenting their reason, you are to write their
    main reasons with their supporting evidence down on the appropriate side. This will
    be critical when we work together to come to a solution later on.
    Give each side 5-10 minutes to share one reason that they should or should not
    engage in war with Great Britain.
    Concluding the Lesson:
    Give me a reason for the opposing side. List reasons on board in a similar format as
    worksheet. Remind the students that will be filling out the opposite side of their
    debate worksheet as the other side is speaking.
