Planning for Mock debate: "That technology is destroying young minds"     1/3

With your group you have been assigned whether you are affirmative of negative of this statement. As a group you need to plan your main ideas and select where you will speak.

Secondly, you need to draft your response keeping in mind your role (which speaker you are) and the process that you follow.

For example: Rawan, Francisca, Malak are affirmative for the topic 'That technology is destroying young minds', so they may organise it like this:
1st speaker: Rawan: Addiction/ distraction
2nd speaker: Francisca: Promotes violence and bad language
3rd speaker: Malak: Cyber bullying

AFFIRMATIVE TEAM:

—Speaker 1 – is the first speaker in the debate. They define the topic and the affirmative team’s case

—Speaker 2 – is the third speaker in the debate. They attack the argument of the 1st negative speaker and presents the main part of his or her team’s case

—Speaker 3 – is the fifth speaker in the debate. They attack the negative case and summarises his or her team’s case.

NEGATIVE TEAM:

—Speaker 1 – is the second speaker in the debate. They define the topic, attacks the argument of the 1st affirmative, and then outlines negative team’s case

—Speaker 2 – is the fourth speaker in the debate.  They attack the argument of the 2nd affirmative speaker and presents the main part of his or her team’s case

—Speaker 3 – is the final speaker in the debate. They attack the affirmative case and summarises his or her team’s case.

Example of Variables in Scientific Experiments

If a scientist conducts an experiment to test the theory that a vitamin could extend a person’s life-expectancy, then:

• The independent variable is the amount of vitamin that is given to the subjects within the experiment. This is controlled by the experimenting scientist. 

• The dependent variable, or the variable being affected by the independent variable, is life span. 

What is a fair test???
We will be anylising results on Thursday.
