14 against: 2 groups of 4, 2 groups of 3


Each individual needs 2 or 3 unique arguments they can use in their debate.

These need to be backed up by quotes from articles, by statistics etc to make your arguments strong.

You will be marked on how well you respond to the other group and your use of debating vocab and etiquette

Aiming for a total of 10-15 minutes debate as a group. 

When debating you cannot have sheets and sheets of notes. You are only allowed a cue card of notes that is the size of a quarter of a side of A4.

Each individual utterance must not succeed 40 seconds so that EVERYONE has a chance to speak and contribute.
