CBSE Class 11 English - Debate Writing
Debate Writing: How to go about it?
When writing a debate for class 11, some important points to keep in mind include:
1. Understanding the subject: Do thorough research on the topic to help you make an informed argument.
2. Structure: A discussion should be well-organized, with a concise introduction, main body, and summary. The body of your essay should contain your points and counterpoints, while the conclusion should restate your main points and clarify your position. The introduction should describe the subject and provide background information.
3. Give them Proof: Back your assertions with strong, applicable evidence, such as statistics, professional opinions, and examples from the real world.
4. Logical Flow: Make sure your arguments and counterarguments follow one another and make logical sense.
5. Objectivity: Make an effort to offer a fair and impartial analysis of the subject, taking into account all available information.
6. Persuasion: Your goal is to persuade your audience to share your point of view, so be careful to offer a compelling case that takes into consideration any rebuttals or counterarguments.
7. Clarity: Use clear and concise language that is easy to understand and presents your points effectively.
8. Referencing: Properly cite any sources you use in your debate to demonstrate credibility and avoid plagiarism.
DO’S AND DONT’S
DO’S
1.Before you begin writing, write down all the points (one/two words per point) at the back of your answer sheet (rough sheet) so that you do not forget relevant points while writing. This also helps you in maintaining a sequence, which is very important.
2.Make sure you double check for grammatical accuracy and spellings. They carry marks.
3.Leave adequate number of lines between paragraphs to make it look clean.
4.Underlining the main points is very important. But it is advised to do it after finishing your exam. Use a pencil and scale for underlining.
5.Always have a few general quotes in handy. They help in presentation and shows that you’re prepared
6.Presentation is very important.
7.Read a lot of debates to get an idea.
8.Have information about all the major environmental, political, social issues that have taken place during the entire year. The Sample Question Paper 2018-19 released by CBSE consists of a question on “Social Media and it’s effects”. It can be linked with a lot of problems we are facing today on personal and on global level. Example- Spreading of fake information, Mob lynching, reduced physical activities in children resulting in poor health, etc.
9.Practice previous year Question paper questions.
DONT’s:-
1.Never mention any of your personal details, i.e., name, school name or address.
2.Never write in one go. Make sure you follow the right format and make paragraphs.
3.Don’t use slangs or short forms.
4.Don’t write wrong facts.
5.Try not to exceed the prescribed word limit of 120 – 150 words.
6.Do not invest too much time in just this question.
An Example
“ONLINE SMART CLASSES ARE THE FUTURE OF EDUCATION STYLE”. Write a debate either for or against the motion. (120 – 150 words).
ONLINE SMART CLASSES ARE THE FUTURE OF EDUCATION STYLE
FOR THE MOTION:
Honourable judges and worthy listeners,
“If you are so old minded and think that computers will be distracting children from studies, with a sincere sorry for you, let me tell you that the young generation has gone a long way with computers!”
Thus, I am here to talk about the endless possibilities of computer and internet based teaching methods.
When most parents think of learning from computers, socializing websites like facebook appear before their eyes. It is the biggest cyber tragedy. There are definitely a large number of sites beyond just facebook.
Udemy, Coursera, Khan academy, Byju’s teaching app, the list of online teaching platforms is endless and ever growing. There are millions of students and teachers who use these websites and apps for their exam-preparation. They are mostly free and it is what makes one turn away from traditional paper-guides. With a smartphone in every hand, city and village alike, these online libraries are within everyone’s reach.
Google has already replaced the word Guru to become the greatest knowledge-provider.
With seven hundred billion population and six hundred trees, it is the need of the century to go paperless. In this context you can find no better solution than eLearning.
Rather than living the life of a consumer, let’s be contributors. Instead of buying paper books, let’s buy eBooks. Instead of collecting a thousand books in our shelves, let’s convert our phones or computers into virtual libraries and learn.
Thank you.
AGAINST THE MOTION:
Good morning, ladies and gentlemen! My topic for the day is “Online Classes are the Future of Education Style” and I choose to speak against the motion.
Online learning or e-learning refers to learning conducted via electronic media, typically on the Internet. There is no face-to-face interaction between the teacher and the student. It decreases the scope of adjusting and modifying the language or the concept according to various audiences. Moreover, humans are known to be social animals and are thus, more interested in direct tuition than virtual tuition.
There is lack of proper guidance and self-assessment mechanisms. Not only this, it would also reduce employment among teachers.
Since it involves only brain work and not physical work, they tend to get lethargic resulting in altered physiology. Also, it leads to lack of discipline. Attending a school makes one have a time schedule in a day. This helps them learn some good habits like, bathing, breakfast, going to bed at the right time etc. Physical school help children adopt a discipline.
Not to forget the excellent interactions involved in physical learning. People tend to make friends who support them and mentors who guide them. Thus, no matter how fast technological developments are taking place, the traditional way of learning should not be displaced.
Thank you.
