Debate The Meaning

By Matthew askew

Why Debating Is So Important

Debating with your classmates helps you better understand different perspectives.
Debating in the classroom affords you a safe space to discuss real world issues to better understand the issues themselves and where you stand on them.

Why Debate Literature?

Debating literature brings with it a better understanding of the texts that have shaped our society.
Especially for older texts like the one you will be debating amongst yourselves today, it can teach us how lessons from centuries ago can apply to our lives today.

Interpreting Shakespeare

In the words of one of William Shakespeare's most iconic characters, Hamlet, "There is nothing either good or bad, but thinking it makes it so." In groups of 3, brainstorm and create an Affinity Map to debate the quote's meaning.

Your interpretation of every single event in the world and in your life determines whether or not it is positive or negative. Essentially, you control how you respond to things.
