Academic Debate Unit
Creator: Nikki Carson, Open Door Learning Center (Minnesota Literacy Council)
This project-based academic debate unit ends with a service field trip. Over several weeks, students effectively develop and refute arguments; analyze controversial issues; evaluate evidence; and recognize opportunities for leadership.
Here you can find lesson notes with TIF (Transitions Integration Framework) and CCR (College & Career Readiness) standard alignment and supplemental materials.
Targeted levels: high intermediate ELLs through pre-GED students
