During 8th grade health I tried to have students participate in a debate over global warming. This debate was a total failure! Students would not listen to what each other were saying. Students would interrupt each other and not listen. I do not know if any debate would have worked with this class because they are very talkative. I was not able to make seating charts separating students who talked with each other. All of the students are very friendly and would talk to a tree if they thought it might talk back.
