- Rather than asking class members to debate the ideas of these two activists, focus the debate on the question of whether schools today should offer vocational courses as part of their curriculum
Classroom Considerations
- The activity assumes class members are familiar with and have experience with the debate model
Pros
- The nine-page packet includes background information for instructors and an overview that explains how the lesson fits in a study of the Progressive Era, links to all required materials, step-by-step directions for the activity, and a rubric for the debate
