 Debate 1: The Statute of Secrecy is still relevant today HeadGirlMC | Treddie & Trixiver <3 | Copy Girl | Katie's Ickle Minion | I love YOU more
The clock ticked and hit the ten minute mark before Fergersnout halted the activity. From behind her desk she produced a gavel which she knocked on the hardwood to gain the attention of the students.
“Welcome to the annual International Confederation of Wizards conference. Thank you for your attendance. On today’s agenda..” She turned to the goblet and caught the piece of paper that flew out, unfolding and reading it over before rewording slightly for the purpose of the debate. “The Statute of Secrecy still has a place in today’s society” An interesting statement considering the statute came from a time where the magical folk were persecuted for their innate abilities.
“On the left hand side we have those that agree and on the right we have those that disagree.” Hence why she had asked them at the beginning of the lesson to sit on opposing sides. “It doesn’t matter if you agree or disagree with the statement personally, the object of the activity is to explore both sides of the argument thoroughly with one another. Once this has come to its conclusion, we’ll try another topic and switch over sides.” She paused for a second for the students to take all the information in.
“Please remember to be respectful with one another, this is just for fun and although I appreciate passion we don’t want anyone leaving in tears. If you’re all ready, let’s begin.”
OOC: Time for the main activity! I used a random number generator for the goblet to decide which topics we shall be discussing in the essence of fairness. Those that sat on the left will have to argue in agreement of the statement and those on the right against the statement.
You have around 48 hours for the first debate and then we’ll switch over. Please keep to SS rules and be kind to one another.
