Dear C22 Parents,
I’m delighted to announce that the C22 POL for the STEAM expedition ‘Conspiracy’ will be on Wednesday the 5th December, for Skipper and Admiral, from 5pm to 6pm.
Students will take part in a debate around their chosen area. Parents may observe and critique quality of explanations however we would love as many parents to get involved in the debate as possible.
Please ask your son/daughter what their debate is on and if you would like to join the debate, prepare an opening statement. It may also be an idea to have some key points for or against and evidence to support it.
The debate will run like this:
Opening statements (1-2 mins each)
Flowing debate using popcorn protocol (15 mins)
Closing statements (1 min each)
I have attached 2 short videos as models. (Please ignore the teacher bit and focus on what the students are doing).

Mr Campbell and Mr Shakesby
