Initiate and participate effectively in a range of collaborative discussions (one-on-one, in groups, and teacher-led) with diverse partners on grades 9–10 topics, texts, and issues, building on others’ ideas and expressing their own clearly and persuasively.
This is an excellent material for Debate Club as well as my seniors do debate on their homework topics and this brings a whole new vision into play. Thanks.
