Holding a debate about bringing mobile phones to school
· 内容分析:
本板块要求学生围绕“学生是否应该携带手机上学”这一话题展开一场辩论。首先学生应根据此主题,以小组为单位选择支持正方或是反方观点。然后各小组根据所选择的观点去做研究,搜集支撑他们观点的论据。同时,每小组进行组内角色分工,分别为一辩(Lead speaker)、二辩(Second speaker)、三辩(Third speaker)、四辩(Summary speaker),每个角色都要明确自己的任务。有理有据的辩论离不开语言的支撑,每个辩手都必须熟悉相关句型,以便展开有效辩论。随后正反方上台,针对话题进行辩论。在每一场辩论结束后,全班投票评选优胜方。
