Congressional Debate Presentations
Our social studies scholars worked collaboratively on a Structured Academic Controversy, a task that challenged students to consider multiple perspectives on a controversial issue. They were given a scenario regarding oil negotiations with OPEC (Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries). The students were assigned to teams, and each team was assigned a position. They used an adapted version of the PMS problem solving template to collect evidence and prepare arguments.
