debate+between+the+demons

We will be in four groups: Belial, - coyle, chase, duffey, spelman Beezlebub, - louis, raymond, Chad, Eddie, Mark Mammon, - justin, mo, andrew, john Moloch - Sam, Ben, De'Ante, Hunter

Within your group, find all the arguments that your assigned character makes to support whether they should go to war. Discuss which the best arguments are and how you could make the weaker arguments better. Be sure to discuss why you find some arguments more persuasive than others. After that, go through the arguments that the other characters make and prepare answers for those arguments. For class Friday, your group should prepare typed, bullet-pointed list of arguments from your character and arguments you will make to answer other arguments.

The format will be a round table discussion.

At the end, each person will get to vote on which team most persuaded them. The team who is successful will receive 2 extra credit points. Each person who votes for the winning team will receive 1 extra credit point.

Each person will receive a quiz grade based on the contribution to the debate. That will be out of 10 points. In addition to the typed arguments your group produces, in order to determine your grade, I will look for your individual contributions to discussion in terms of strength of argument, ability to respond to opposing arguments, and general positive contribution to discussion.
