Extractions: Competition Teams Lesson Plans Dear Readers, If you are planning to give a workshop on parliamentary procedure and don't know where to begin, what follows is a lesson in making a main motion. This lesson plan includes page references from ROBERT'S RULES OF ORDER NEWLY REVISED, and sections from our video PARLIAMENTARY PROCEDURE MADE SIMPLE: THE BASICS, and a script that you can give your students to act out. The correct terminology is in the script, but the students have to make up their own debate for each question. Here are some teaching techniques that I have discovered that work: 1. Teach concepts of motions first, and then finally put then in their proper rank. 2. Each lesson begin with a main motion, and then do something to that motion while it is pending. For example, amend it. 3. Keep the instruction to students simple, short and to the point. Always have a script for them to act out. You can follow the model below. We are currently coming up with script ideas for every motion in Robert's Rules, the scripts will be available later this year. 4. The best way to learn parliamentary procedure is for people to practice it. Everyone should take a turn presiding, making a main motion, and debating it.

Extractions: home about calendar resources ... For Teachers Approach The class will prepare and stage a single debate to explore a historical issue that they have already been studying. Every student will prepare for the debate but only eight will deliver main speeches. Other students will be required to deliver floor speeches or to write a report after the debate. This website provides materials to support four possible debates; two are time/space specific debates and two are historical controversies: Time/Space specific debates This House believes Dunkirk was a triumph Two different lesson plans are given on the following pages to support these different types of debate. In each case it is assumed that students already have some knowledge of the period and of events leading up to the issue being debated, and that the debate will provide a focus for assessment of this work. Any of the various Key Stage 3 textbooks should provide a good amount of information and source material to help the students develop and support their arguments for the debate; reference has been made to particular pages in some of the more popular texts. Additional material to support each debate is also available on the ESU London Debate Challenge website.
