Step VIII

Ask the chairman to begin the debate by reading from the paper you have given him/her. Do not interrupt the debate, try to sit in an inconspicuous place and note down any repeated mistakes pupils make, any particularly good things they say, any things they want to say but can’t/or say in mother tongue. You will need these notes for feedback at the end of the debate.

Make sure that after the given minutes the chairperson ends the debate and organises the vote.

Step IX

After the vote bring the debate to a close. Let pupils return to their proper seats.

Then ask them for feedback on the activity. You could ask: Did you enjoy the debate?

Why?/Why not?

Then you can tell them your feedback on their performance.
