Teacher

Instructions
Each slide contains one debate topic. You can set a
timer and challenge students to speak uninterrupted for
a minute, or simply complete this as a free-flowing
speaking activity.

Each slide has a “Choose a random side” button – this


will allow you to randomly assign students to debate
for/against the topic. It is not necessary to use this
button, students can simply choose their own opinion.
However, if you would like to create more structured
discussions, then this button can be helpful in assigning
opposing sides.
