Oxford debate

Students hold an Oxford-style debate on a topic important to youth.

Steps

1. We choose a thesis, e.g., 'Phones should be banned in school'.
2. We draw sides and prepare arguments.
3. We hold a debate with a speaker and a timer.
4. The audience votes.

Tip: The rules of the Oxford debate are published by the Leaders Educational Foundation.
