World History 9: Daily Agenda

Debate: Causes of WWI

1/25/2019

 
After today's formative vocabulary quiz on WWI you will work with your group to begin preparing for your role in next class' formative debate on the most significant cause of WWI.
Your team will have assigned a cause you will be arguing is the most "significant"; your team will also be assigned on another cause that you will be opposing/refuting in the debate and will need to develop a counterclaim and provide evidence to strengthen your argument that the other cause is less significant--and evidence to support your claim why your cause is the most significant cause of the war.  This debate isn't about winning (tho. that can be fun) but about learning how to develop strong arguments you can support and how to develop strong counterclaims that serve the purpose of both refuting other claims and further strengthening your own claim/argument. 

Helpful Links for today's class:
  • Famous Misquotes -- this is why we pay close attention to sourcing of primary documents
  • WWI Formative Debate Group Planning Doc (1 group member makes a copy then shares with the rest of the group)
  • ​Formative Debate: WWI Presentation
  • Argumentative Speech/Debate Rubric (2018)
  • MAIN Causes of WWI Presentation​

HW: Read, research & take notes to help Prep for debate. 

You will need to take notes and find evidence to support your team's cause. Prior to the debate you will be writing a formative essay so it is important that you develop a claim and counterclaim on your own.   Later on, your team will read each other's argumentative essays and decide on which team member has a stronger introduction and claim, who has a stronger counter claim and who has a stronger conclusion-- this will help teams decide on who serves which speaking role.  

But first, you must research!  

Use the following resources for research:
  • Mr. Bisset’s WWI Presentation
  • WWI BBC Documentary (video)
  • BBC World - WWI: http://www.bbc.com/ww1
  • 37 Days - “The countdown to WWI”: http://www.bbc.co.uk/timelines/zgy334j#z99887h
