As a culminating activity of the Argumentation and Research Unit you will participate in a 2 to 3 day in class debate. The winner of the debate will earn a substantial amount of points on the quarter level. The winner will be decided by a panel of judges.
In preparation for your cross examination debate, you will research the issues, and the essential questions that drive the debate. Collectively, you and your team have discussed and outlined the issues and questions that relate to the proposition.
You must have at least 10 articles that are for and against the proposition. The articles must be from valid websites or databases. Every member of the team must find at least one article, annotate it, and then present the findings to the team so that the team can build their case.
You will use 3 of the articles for your individual documented argument paper.
