Use your planner to prepare your argument Reason One Why it is important or evidence? August should not go to school Reason Two OR Why it is important or evidence? August should go to school Reason Three Why it is important or evidence? Our Star Reason

Writing the Debate 1. Choose the best reasons for your side of the argument 2. Give each team member a reason to explain 3. Each team member writes the argument for 1 reason (so the paper doesn’t have to be shared) 4. Read through the presentation • Have you used formal language? (Edit it) • Is there anything you need to change or add? 5. Practise your speech together, taking turns to say one section each.

Presenting the Debate 1. Make sure you know who is going to say each section. Stand in the right order. 2. Don’t waste time between speakers, swap quickly so the presentation runs smoothly. 3. When it’s your turn • Look at the audience • Speak slowly, clearly and with expression • Don’t fidget 4. When it’s not your turn, fade into the background. • Look down or at the speaker • Don’t make any sound 5. If anything goes wrong, work as a team to sort it out.

After the debate When each team has spoken have a class vote to decide whether the class thinks August should go to school or not.
