Debate Essays

 Do you want your teens to write volumes?  I do!  Pick debate topics.  The key is to find a topic of interest.  Right now, the government is debating eliminating pennies.  My favorite topic is  Tattoos.  Thinking about Tattoos and What Chemicals are in Your Tattoos? are both useful for this discussion.  Below is the format for writing a debate essay.

1.  What is the issue?  Should the government eliminate pennies?  Should you get a tattoo?

2.  Next, write the pros and cons.

3.  Do the pros outweigh the cons or vice versa?

Below are the notes we did in class.
