This document discusses different types of debates and their formats. It provides examples of historical debates that helped shape political landscapes.
The document outlines six main types of debates: team policy debates, Cross-Examination debates, Lincoln-Douglas debates, spontaneous argumentation debates, parliamentary debates, and Oregon-Oxford debates. Each have different structures and focuses, such as presenting evidence quickly (team policy) or focusing on style without research (spontaneous).
Historical examples of influential debates discussed include the Lincoln-Douglas debates of 1858 and the Nixon-Kennedy presidential debates of 1960. These debates played roles in Lincoln's road to the presidency and Kennedy being viewed as the winner, helping him win the election.

Isaiah 40:31King James Version (KJV)
31 But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.
This is a pilot presentation for a multi-campus ESL learning opportunity allowing English learners to engage in higher level discussions in a structured manner.
What is Debate?
a formal contest of argumentation between two teams or individuals
More broadly, and more importantly, debate is an essential tool for developing and maintaining democracy and open societies
 embodies the ideals of reasoned argument, tolerance for divergent points of view and rigorous self-examination
MECHANICS
Debaters work together in teams of three and must research both sides of each issue
Each team is given the opportunity to offer arguments and direct questions to the opposing team
Choosing a DEBATE TOPIC
Whatever topic you choose to debate, make sure it is something you can form an argument for or against.
The more passionate you are about a topic, the better.
TIPS FOR THE DEBATE
Time conscious â group leader as well as the group member should keep track of time to ensure that discussion is moving efficiently.
Individually brainstorm â should begin listing reasons for both sides of the argument. Think of what most intelligent people say about the topic.
Present â discuss your brainstorm as a team. Come to an agreement on how you will interpret the topic.
Speech wise â prepare speeches individually. The first and second speakers should begin preparing engaging speeches. The statements should be backed up with research where possible.

How to Create Map Views in the Odoo 17 ERPCeline George

The map views are useful for providing a geographical representation of data. They allow users to visualize and analyze the data in a more intuitive manner.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
Â
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasnât one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

2. Why People Debate?
âA man never tells you anything until you contradict
himâ
⢠George Bernard Shaw (1856 - 1950) Irish playwright
âI love argument, I love debate. I don't expect anyone
just to sit there and agree with me, that's not their jobâ
⢠Margaret Thatcher (1925 - Present) British prime minister
âYou will never understand your opponentâs
argument, unless you fully understand your ownâ
⢠Book: Political Spectrum
3. TYPES OF DEBATES
1. Team Policy Debate / National Debate Tournament
Team policy debates feature two teams of two debaters each. The format consists of eight speeches--four
constructive speeches and four rebuttals--and four periods of cross-examination. Emphasis is put on presenting
large amounts of evidence as quickly and as coherently as possible.
2. Cross-Examination Debate Association, or CEDA
Debates are a newer type of two-on-two collegiate debate. Unlike NDT debates, CEDA debates have resolutions
that are not related to policy. CEDA debates are intended to be based on values, but, like NDT, a lot of evidence
can be presented.
3. Lincoln-Douglas Debate
Inspired by the debates between Abraham Lincoln and Stephen A. Douglas during a senatorial race in the
1850s. They are one-on-one debates that focus on arguing for or against competing moral and ethical values.
There traditionally has been a strong emphasis on speaking persuasively, logically and clearly in Lincoln-
Douglas debates.
4. Spontaneous argumentation, or SPAR
Debates feature two debaters who draw a topic at random (traditionally out of a hat). The debaters then spend a
few minutes preparing what they will say before engaging in a brief debate on the topic. It is often used
in college and university classrooms and helps decrease speaker anxiety and build confidence. Because the
debates do not require serious research, they focus more on presentation and style than on content.
5. Parliamentary Debate
Similar to SPAR debates, parliamentary debates require no prior research. Resolutions are established only 10
minutes or so before a round of debate begins, so wit, logic and persuasiveness are strongly emphasized. These
debates are referred to as "parliamentary" because of their resemblance to the debates that occur in British
Parliament. There are two teams of two debaters in parliamentary debates, and a round consists of six speeches:
four constructive speeches and two rebuttal speeches.
6. Oregon-Oxford Debate
4. Lincoln-Douglas Debates
In a series of seven
debates in 1858, Abraham
Lincoln challenged United
States Senator Stephen
Douglasâs support of a law
allowing slavery in free
territory
Lincoln lost his bid for
Douglasâs Senate seat, but
the debates helped pave
the road to the presidency
5. Nixon-Kennedy Debate
Democratic presidential
candidate John F. Kennedy
faced Republican candidate
Richard Nixon in four
nationally televised debates
during the 1960 United
States presidential
campaign
Kennedy was widely
regarded as the winner of
the debates, which helped
him win the presidency
