Brit Lit:

Today:  We debated censorship and surveillance:

1984:  The Debate

 
During this class, I will be breaking you into two groups to debate the following:

 
Side One:  Government censorship and surveillance are both needed to protect our freedom and safety. 

Side 2: Censorship and spying on American Citizens’ are both wrong and counter our basic fundamental rights as Americans.

 
Directions:  Please break into two groups and assign the following parts:

 
Captain:  You will read your opening statement expressing your main point to prove.  This will be very similar to the thesis of a paper.  You will pick the order of your team to make your top 4 points.

 
Thinkers (4):  You will direct the 4 examples that your team uses.

 
Scribe:  You will write the main thesis of your group and record the four examples to prove your point.

 
Debate team:  You will carefully listen to the argument from the other side and attempt to counter their argument.
