Looking for a collection of engaging debate topics? This article has 150 topics that are designed to help middle schoolers develop critical thinking and respectful communication skills. The list covers a wide range of subjects, from lighthearted pop culture questions to more serious social issues, offering teachers a versatile resource for any classroom discussion. (I wish I had them when I taught communications class!)
HOW CAN TEACHERS USE THIS RESOURCE?
I can see teachers using the interactive activities like "Four Corners" or "Pair and Share" to help students practice their arguments in a dynamic and low-pressure setting. Additionally, you can foster empathy and critical thinking by asking students to research and defend the opposite of their personal opinions.
