Reflection

I loved teaching this lesson, my learners enjoyed being able to rebut against the oppositions ideas and it was good for them to learn how to have a 'healthy argument'. My learners were quick to pick a side to this statement and got right into researching their key points. It took quite a bit of scaffolding for them to understand they have to write their rebuttals while the other group is speaking. It was good having a very precise structure for the debate. When doing this activity it will take lots of scaffolding and acting out different parts of the debate. My learners were really keen to rebut the oppositions rebuttal which was quite cool, they really got into it.

Things to note

Audio is getting a lot better and the camera angles worked well in this video. I filmed this in 3 different pieces; firstly, me explaining what was going to happen. Secondly, learners working together to come up with their points. Thirdly, the learners doing the actual debate. during the debate I skipped parts out, mainly just because of the time of the movie.
