As a class, decide which of them are action propositions and which are value propositions. When students have discovered a number of different possible strategies, have small groups choose a strategy to explore further. Make sure that an equal number of affirmative and negative strategies are explored. Ask each group to do a presentation to the class on its strategy. The purpose is to teach the rest of the class.
Strategies Have students work in small groups.
Ask each group to choose a proposition from the master list. Have the group plan a strategy for arguing the affirmative. Next, have them plan a strategy for arguing the negative. Have each group present its strategies to the whole class. The purpose is to have students practise their debating and quick-thinking skills.
