Debating

Last Thursday, the M & Ms tackled debating! We had three debate motions:

1) Books are better than television.
2) Sport exercises the body and the mind.
3) Kids today are too spoilt.

We will tackle Debate No. 3 this week, but as it was the first debate for our G4 students Nos. 1 & 2 were quite successful.

They learnt to express themselves clearly and use expression to add emotions to their argument. They learnt to think on their feet and rebut what the opposition said through the use of evidence and persuasive words.

The proposition team won Debate No. 1, whilst the opposition team won the Debate No. 2.

We will do this again this week, so get ready for more persuasion arguments!
