When I asked students to come to my office last Thursday, most of them didn't even bother. I wait till 2.30pm before clocking the card at 2.45pm. The reason I asked them to come is to brief them as what to do when the debate commence on this Sunday.
Today, as I comfortably watching Legend of the Guardians at brand new TGV cinema in Mesra Mall, I got an sms asking what kind of debate question should they be expecting. My reply was: "Debate question la ... what else."
Well, no matter how I hate to do this, what choice do I have? sigh**
So much for Y-Generation? I think we overrated them - only if you know what I mean.
Cut story short, here some guide for the debate:
BEFORE the debate:
- There are 6 groups for class AMD1PB - thus, there will be three GOVERNMENT groups and three OPPOSITION groups (hopefully you know what GOVERNMENT and OPPOSITION suppose to do!)
- Each round will has one GOVERNMENT and one OPPOSITION. As the team positioning themselves well, the motion will be released
- Once motion is released, each team has 15 minutes to discuss the motion accordingly After 15 minutes, the bell will be rang indicating the debate will commence
DURING the debate:
- As the debate is unstructured, there will be no specific round. Therefore, when the GOVERNMENT starts the round, the OPPOSITION can at any time PoI (point of information - mencelah) them and vice versa.
- Not all of PoI should be answered - depending on how each team viewed them [but it surely will add up your marks if you allow and answer it]
- Time allocated for debate is 10 minutes. After ten minutes, the group will be given 3 minutes to sum up their argument and 2 minutes to present it - (the summary round will start by the OPPOSITION)
AFTER the debate:
The instructor will do the evaluation and the groups will be freed and liberated! Hurrah!!!
As for the question, please don't expect this kind of question:
"Discuss FIVE sources of law."
But, this …
“Unitary System of Government: A Practical Solution for Country’s Development.”
So, what’s next?
Read all the topics listed thoroughly that you’ll talk about it in your dreams. Be prepared.
Let’s the show begins!
