Teacher’s Discovery Easy Debates for the World History Classroom Book

* Initiate Student Debates * Simulate Interest, Teamwork and Participation * Increase Knowledge and Confidence There’s nothing like introducing an argument to get students involved with the topics you’re teaching – framing these subjects in a debate format helps them get invested, and form a passion for research and learning outside the classroom. The debate format in this book gets the whole class involved in the discussion in a fun and challenging way – way better than a lecture! These debates are all high school appropriate, and will help you stimulate discussions and improve the involvement of your students. Topics range across subjects such as: the famous explorers, religion, Greek and Roman empires, and much more. Of course, debates are not limited to the topics in this book-once you have the format down, you can create your own debate subjects! Enclosed you will find ready-to-use debate lessons for your students, as well as different debating styles, a scoring rubric, and ideas on how to expand and extend each debate. Follow-up questions are also included for each topic, to ensure that each student truly comes away from the debate with a well-rounded knowledge of the subject. (c)2014, Teacher’s Discovery.
