  2. Day of Debate • Two debate teams will be selected to “face off” • All class members not participating directly will be debate judges and choose a winner of each debate • Mrs. Winters will be the debate moderator. My job is to introduce debate participants, keep time, and help maintain a level of decorum

  3. Debate Instructions Each debate team will prepare the following: • A one-minute opening statement that introduces who you believe had the better philosophy for America in the 1960s. Tell reasons why you believe MLK or Malcolm’s approach is best, but do not share many specific arguments, facts, or quotes yet! • At least three well-developed arguments that support your team’s position. • A prediction of your opponents’ arguments and ideas of how to counter those argument. • A one-minute closing statement that summarizes the team’s position.
