This detailed powerpoint explains how to organise a linear debate, using the example debate topic ‘Which is better, book or movie?’. This debate style allows every member of the class to participate in the debate, not needing the class to be divided into smaller groups; this makes assessment of debate participation simple as each student speaks individually, but allows team group work to prepare arguments and rebuttals. This activity can easily be modified to any text or topic.
