The Structured Controversy

WinningLosing

Understanding (through

LISTENING!)

How a Structured Controversy Works

1.Two sides of a controversial question (Suspend your own beliefs!)

2.Partners prepare: Find evidence!3.Present positions

1. A speaks, B listens and restates2. B speaks, A listens and restates

4.Build a consensus

Etiquette for Effective

Structured Controversies• Be respectful of each other.• Disagree with another person's position and ideas

but don't be critical of the person.• Don't take criticism of your ideas as a personal

attack.• Listen to everyone's ideas, especially if you don't

agree with them.• Change your mind when the evidence supports

this.• Try to understand both sides of the controversy.• Understand the position differences before trying

to reach consensus.• Focus on reaching the best outcome, not on

winning.

Assessment of the Structured Controversy

1.Teacher observation during preparation/discussion

2.*An individual written response answering the question, citing evidence

3.Self- and peer-assessment of performance

How would you describe this passage? What other info would you like about

it?

“I have no purpose to introduce political and social equality between the white and black races. There is a physical difference between the two, which in my judgment will probably forever forbid their living together...I...am in favor of the race to which I belong, having the superior position.”
