speaks and so on.
The rest of the class act as an audience. They must come up with questions to ask the speakers at the end of the debate.
Finally, a judgement is given as to who has won the debate.

Silent Debate
Silent Debate is a good activity to do in advance of essay writing. It works as follows:
The teacher writes questions and/or statements in the centre of 3-5 large pieces of paper. These are then spread around the room.
Students enter and are told they are not allowed to talk. They must take out a pen and move around the room, reading the questions/statements.
Students must write their responses to each question/statement on the paper.
When they have answered each one, they continue to move around, except they now comment on other peoples comments.
Once sufficient time has elapsed, end the activity and use the sheets as a basis for discussion. From this, it will be easy for students to dive straight into their essays.
Evaluation Tables
Evaluation tables help students to critique the material . An example is given below. This is taken from A Level Psychology. The study could easily be replaced by an interpretation of an historical event, a philosophical argument, a scientific experiment and so on.
Evaluation tables makes it easier for students to write about such information as they contain. This in turn makes their essays more critical.
