How to use debate topics
- Vote, discuss, revote. Poll the room on the motion, give 5 minutes of discussion, then vote again and look at who changed their mind.
- Four corners. Label corners strongly agree → strongly disagree; people move, then each corner makes its best case.
- Switch sides. Halfway through, everyone argues the side they disagree with. It sharpens listening.
