With Debate, students engage in real-time argumentation and put the elements of strong reasoning into practice—using persuasive rhetoric, making clear claims, responding to peers, and weighing competing ideas. As they build counterarguments and rebuttals, they’re not just defending a position—they’re adjusting their thinking in light of new ideas and evidence. Use this structure in your classroom!

Sequence lets students build their ideas into one coherent essay outline. As they work, they are able to see how their ideas map together, as well as the ideas of their peers—adding new perspectives and helping to refine their own. The result is more than organization—it’s stronger reasoning. Use this structure in your classroom!
