5 Open to Debate

The activity aims to have students participate in a debate and practice the expressions for clothing and
shopping.

Materials and Preparation
Worksheet on page 258
Assessment rubric on page 259
As a preparation, the teacher photocopies and hands out both the worksheet and the assessment rubric
to each subgroup.

Procedure
1 Divide the class into two groups. Then, divide both groups into two subgroups as As and Bs.
2 Tell students that they will be given various topics to debate over and As of either group will be “for”
and Bs “against”.
3 Then, ask each group to take a look at the topics given and choose one of them as the debate topic.
4 Have the As and Bs of either group debate over their topics standing “for” and “against”. During the
debate within a group, the other group will be the jury to evaluate the debating group using the
assessment rubrics.
5 At the beginning of the debate, remind students to take into consideration the following rules:
• Respect your opponents.
• Do not interrupt.
• Support the arguments with details.
6 Give students enough time to prepare their “for” or “against” arguments by making notes on the
worksheet. Monitor and guide them while they are carrying out the task.
7 When everyone is ready, invite two groups to the front of the class to debate over their topic.
8 Once the debate is finished, take the assessment rubrics and determine the winner group.
