Atomic Bomb Debate
Tasks
Tasks
1. Divide into two groups:
Group A: For using atomic bombs
Group B: Against using atomic bombs
2. Each group must have:
Opening Speaker- States groups position with a short, but detailed statement
Three Supporting Speakers- Each has different point supported by evidence
Counter Speaker- States opposing view and counters it
Conclusion Speaker- Restates points and overall position
Three Questionnaires- Each must ask at least three questions to the opposing side and respond to opponents questions
Those that do not participate in the debate must write a one-page (double-spaced) report highlight your position. You must use evidence to support your position.
Each student must first decide which side they want to take. (If one group has too many or too few then some students will be transferred to the other side.) Don't worry about as grading will be determined on the research and evidence provided and not on which side has the stronger argument. Each member must first go online or to the library to research the US decision before the bombs were dropped.
