Today we are doing an in-class debate on whether homework is essential, or should be banned.  The structure  is that each small group brainstorms the arguments for their side, they have 2 min. to argue.  After each team has had a chance to argue, then it is time to brainstorm each groups rebuttals. Then each group gets 2 min. for rebuttals.

First we watched the video below and took notes to help us get a start.
