Description

If your secondary students enjoy debating, they will LOVE these totally relevant (and somewhat humorous) debate topics and supporting materials! Topic areas include social media, video games, superheroes, school rules, and more!

Sample topics:

- The longer the Snapchat streak, the stronger the friendship.

- Rap music is harmful to the teenage brain.

- Emojis improve our ability to communicate.

They’ll want to debate for hours! In addition to the topic list, you’ll receive everything you need to teach a mini-debate unit such as vocabulary, case outline, debate round formats, and flow charts for beginners.

Minimal prep! Easy to print and distribute!
