Debate Worksheet

The purpose of this debate worksheet is to discuss your opinion on the debate topic and support your argument with material beyond the assigned reading. Your opinion statement should choose one side, “Pro” or “Con”.  The opinion statement should be at least one page long and should be supported by three sources independent of the assigned material. You must also choose two possible arguments that the opposing side will make to your opinion argument. Then you will detail your response to the arguments made by the opposing side. The grading rubric for this assignment is separate and can be found on Moodle. Your Debate grade is based on the worksheet provided prior the live debate.
