EUROVISION: A SONG OR A POLITICAL

CONTEST?

DEBATE RULES
1) EVERYBODY MUST SPEAK AND PARTICIPATE. THE TEACHER WILL BE THE
HOST OF THE DEBATE
2) ENGLISH WILL BE THE ONLY LANGUAGE THAT WILL BE USED
THROUGHOUT THIS DEBATE. HOWEVER, IF YOU HAVE SOME
DIFFICULTIES, THE TEACHER WILL HELP YOU AS MUCH AS HE CAN.
3) WHEN SOMEONE IS SPEAKING, WE WILL REMAIN SILENT SO THAT WE
CAN ALL LISTEN TO WHAT EVERYBODY HAS TO SAY AND UNDERSTAND
THEIR ARGUMENTS. THAT MEANS YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO SPEAK AS
YOUR CLASSMATES ARE GIVING THEIR OPINION AND THAT WE MUST BE
RESPECTFUL TOWARDS ONE ANOTHER. IF WE SPEAK AT THE SAME TIME,
WE WON´T BE ABLE TO UNDERSTAND ANYTHING, SO ONE AT A TIME IS
THE GOLDEN RULE.
4) IF YOU WANT TO PARTICIPATE, YOU WILL HAVE TO RISE YOUR HAND.
THE TEACHER WILL THEN LET YOU SPEAK.
