Think about pro and con case lines for this topic so when we debate it on Wednesday we can apply this case line : e.g. the pain of extra gambling is better than higher taxes, or the benefit for children's education outweighs the costs of gambling addition for adults
We want to improve our rebuttal so as you make your arguments for one side think how you would refute this argument and note it down. Then think how you would convince a judge your argument is better.
On Wednesday we will select four students to argue the positive i.e.slots do more harm and four to debate the con argument they do more good than harm.
Please come ready with WRITTEN notes, a blank flow chart and a pen to write with.
The following week we have to cover two topics before the Dec 13 tournament so I am going to suggest we either do an extended lesson (my preference) or we do an extra class on the Tuesday Dec 9. Could students and parents let me know their preference at next weeks class.
