 The House of Commons Debate (video conference agenda)

Students will examine the following questions prior to HOC Video Conference and decide whether they agree or disagree with the statements provided. They are challenged to think about the reasons that support their point of view on each of the following questions so that they can debate and support their position throughout the HOC debate.

FOR HOUSE OF COMMONS it is advised to prepare the debate by looking into the questions and talk about them amongst your group and with your teacher.

Each teacher will be a spokesperson for his group and will read one statement. There are 6 teachers participating so we could have 6 statements.

1. Once we start the VC, the spokesperson briefly introduces him/herself and his team to the partner groups, after which they do the same.

2. The spokespersons, having the questions, will then start of the discussion by asking the first question. To facilitate discussion, each participant has a red and green colored piece of paper in their hand. If they agree with the statement, they raise the green card and if they disagree with the statement they hold up the red card. In an instant participants can see the various positions on the topic, and they will take the debate from there.

3. A spokesperson then asks some of the group members from different groups to give an explanation or argument for their position.

3. Students are free to speak their mind, keeping in mind that they respect and listen to the other students participating.

4. After about 30 - 45 minutes the debate will be wrapped up with a short farewell.
