I really enjoyed this strategy lesson. Personally, I always
loved a good debate in school. It was a chance for me to take a side and really
present to someone how I felt and what I knew about the topic. I think this
lesson is good way for students to develop their own opinions, and even stray
away from what they believe and try taking a stand on the opposite end. It allows
students to get up and move which can keep them more involved in the activity. It
also allows them to be sociable. I would definitely use this in my classroom
because it allows for the students who tend to keep quiet to have a voice. Everyone
has to participate and share their position. What I also like about this
lesson, is that it involves other reading strategies as well, such as
annotating the text and activating prior knowledge that they’ve already learned
on the topic. One thing that was brought up in class today that I really liked
was teaching the students beforehand how to debate appropriately or
respectfully. I think that is really important so students don’t get out of
hand while participating in the lesson.
