3.16 Debate: Good or Bad?

A. Debate Prep

Now that you have thought all about the pros and cons of video games, it’s time to prepare for a debate. In a debate, you make an argument. Answer the questions below to prepare for your debate: 

  1. Are video games good for us or bad for us? Why? 
  2. Write your answer.
  3. Pick three arguments or reasons to support your answer. These are your evidence.
  4. Then think of what someone might say when they disagree with you. What are their arguments? This is called a counterargument

B. Debate It Out

Once you are done planning your arguments, it’s time for your debate. Find a partner or a group with whom you can discuss. If you are working by yourself, find a time to discuss your ideas with a partner or group.
