16: Hot Seat Debate
Society is full of disagreement, and students of all ages need opportunities to practice meaningful debate. In this episode, Cody shares a strategy called Hot Seat Debate, which he learned from a colleague. This engaging activity taps into students’ natural love of argument and competition, guiding them through three rounds of lively, structured debate. One key element: students don’t get to choose their side. Some of the most powerful learning moments happen when they’re asked to argue for a position they personally disagree with.
