This is about Debate, how to create the text, structure of the debate, some rules in debate and etcetera

2. ➲ A debate is a discussion between two people/sides
➲ Centred around a topic/issue
(e.g Children should not have to wear school uniforms)
➲ Winner is the person/side that presented their argument the
best: its about persuasion, not how loud you can shout/argue!
• Simulation of real parliamentary or senate debate
discussing: Regulation, Policy, Constitution, or
Problems happening in society
• In parliamentary system we have: Government &
Opposition
 resembling political parties in parliament that
runs legislatives (and probably also executives).

3. ➲ One person speaks at a time, for a
given period of time (e.g. 2 minutes)
➲ No interrupting when someone is
speaking, but you can question them
when their time is up
➲ No shouting
➲ Don't get aggressive- remain calm!

4. Government’s Role Opposition‘s Role
Providing proposals,
solution, or idea of certain
kind of opinion
Negating the proposal or
the solution or the idea
provided by government.
Saying the proposal or the
idea is wrong or the status
quo is better.

5. Neutral ideas can be used by both teams  depends on how they are shaped
and characterized.
