Elementary-Level Example

Topic: Reading Versus Writing

A third-grade teacher uses the Debate Format to get students talking about reading versus writing. After asking the students, “Which is better, reading or writing?” he arranges them in two concentric circles. To keep their attention, he has them sing a familiar song as they move, such as “Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star,” “The Farmer in the Dell,” “Ring Around the Rosy,” or “Row, Row, Row Your Boat.” The first round sounds like this:

• Inner-circle partner point—Reading. For me, reading is faster and maybe easier, because I can think ahead and kinda know what’s coming next.

• Outer-circle partner counterpoint—I disagree, because if you don’t know some of the words, or if the topic is unfamiliar, you cannot read very fast and don’t even understand what you have read.
