About an interesting class activity on Monday afternoon.Debate session!
we had an attractive debate session in link 4-5 class yesterday. This interesting activity was held by Ms Sooman, one of our teachers. I have already watched some debate sessions in BBC channel about issues such as global warming, racism and also some elections debates like president Obama's debate sessions. But I have never participated in a debate.



We made 4 separate groups in class and in each group, the members of group discussed about a topic. So we have 4 separate  topics as follows:
1.Mercy killing(euthanasia); yes or no?
2. One person can change the 

world! 
3.Summer is the best season!
4. The world  have changed in recent years. Is it better or worse than 20 years ago?
So the members of each group spoke together and
 discussed about the group topic and each member give some reasons for their agreement or disagreement about topic. After some discussion, each group have to declare and express their own presentation.In each group 2 people spoke as agreeing and disagreeing with their own group topic. During the groups presentation, I was writing the important points and tips on white board as a summarizing the debate.
My group 's topic was number 
2. One person can change the world! I was definitely agree with this matter and I gave some examples about it like campaigns and efforts of Martin Luther king and Mahatma Gandhi as great leaders who changed their countries and also the insights and attitudes of world's people. I posted this important video to you.

After that, the class discussed about all presentations.I think it was very interesting and attractive debate session activity for the first time....Thanks all and have a nice day.
Dear Mrs Sooman, I really appreciate you to hold and guild this nice activity.

Thank you and, may God bless and protect you.
