Coming Up With a Debate Topic

Here’s a link to the KRHS Library Media.

1. Go to the SIRS link and then click on SIRS Issues Researcher.

2. Browse and look for 5 issues/topic that you want to debate. Write them down in your geography/history journal; number them 1 to 5.

3. Narrow the list of five down to three issues/topics.

4. Read three articles, one for each issue to become informed about the topic.

5. Cite the articles you read.

6. Generate a list of questions you have as you read each article.

Remember to dig deeply. What do you wonder; what sparks your curiosity; what questions do you have?
