Thanks so much for your feedback! I realized very quickly that the discussion wasn't going to go anywhere if the students were creating lower-level questions. In order to actually have a conversation, they need to focus on questions with multiple answers. My students have really enjoyed this though and love that there really isn't "an answer" but more of a, "What do you think? Prove it." I hope your students enjoy it too!

Thanks so much for leaving feedback! I agree about the comprehension & public speaking! I used it every week in one of my senior classes last year & I really saw my students grow in their reading comprehension and speaking skills. I had multiple students tell me that this prepared them so much for college, which I was so glad to hear!

Thanks so much for your feedback! I totally agree about the versatility of this activity. I love to use activities like this because most of us don't teach just one grade or course. If you are like me, you don't have time to recreate the wheel for every single course! :)
