Description
The Heart Transplant debate is a great entry to a unit on persuasion/argumentation. It's also a fantastic tool to teach Line of Reasoning through experiential learning.
This activity provides an opportunity for students to apply knowledge of general debate skills as well as locating and citing appropriate evidence. Two articles are linked as sources and pre-reading to this debate. My students loved arguing for their "client" and this debate got them out of their seats. I used this as an opportunity to practice "ethos, pathos, and logos" in their argument as well as launch my argument essay unit for AP Language.
