• Set expectations/requirements on # of debates before another motion is presented
Chair carries main motion through debate until a decision is madeTeacher and students ask questions using how / why / what / when, etc.

• Present motion after reading assignment to help students process what was read
For cooperative groups• Divide class into groups where each group
has a chair
• Assign different motions related to topic
