Easy Student Debates for the Economics Classroom

Description

  • Initiate Student Debates
  • Stimulate Interest, Teamwork, and Participation
  • Increase Knowledge and Confidence

There’s nothing like introducing an argument to get students involved with the topics you’re teaching! Framing these subjects in a debate format helps them get invested, and form a passion for research and learning outside the classroom.

The debate format in this book gets the whole class involved in the discussion in a fun and challenging way—far better than a lecture! These debates are all high school-appropriate, and will help you stimulate discussions and improve the involvement of your students.

Topics range across subjects such as: minimum wage, price controls, wealth distribution, and much more. Of course, debates are not limited to the topics in this book—once you have the format down, you can create your own debate subjects!

Enclosed you will find ready-to-use debate lessons for your students, as well as different debate styles, a scoring rubric, and ideas on how to expand and extend each debate. Follow-up questions are also included for each topic to ensure that each student truly comes away from the debate with well-rounded knowledge of the subject.

Valuable resource for teachers

Glad I ordered a digital version. No, wait, less expensive and you get a student & teacher edition. Book needs to be updated for economic issues post covid. Space exploration is already privatized. Also question like how can the government create wage growth, incentivize companies to manufacture in the United States, and increase homeownership. It also should include the topic of whether a college education is more or less valuable in today's job market. Thank you
