Learning outcomes • Work in team or lead the team during implementation of learning tasks. • Discuss effectively in a certain debate format. • Reflect on and react to constructive criticism provided by others. • Can use debate assessment criteria.
Public Forum (also called Ted Turner Debate or Controversy) Format • Public Forum is one of the newest formats. • Affirmative and negative teams choose two representative persons (Speaker 1, Speaker 2). • Instead of cross-examination speeches, Public Forum has crossfire. During this time, the debaters who just finished speaking can ask and answer questions of each other. • The summary speeches allow the debaters to recap the best arguments for their side. This is a chance for more refutation but not new arguments. In the last shot, each team will reprise the one argument that they believe will win the debate for them. (Rybold, G., 2006)
