Re: Debate Topics For Kids

I just wrote you a long answer and lost it!!!! Here is the short version.
Keep it narrow- Kids get overwhelmed with this kind of project if the topic is too broad.
Look for topics that the candidates differ on:
Pull out of troops
Reponse to the War on terror
Economy
Give money to industry vs give money to the people
Taxation-
Tax and let government take care of you vs give money to the people to spend and cut taxes
Big topics - you will need to simplify the some. Just some ideas. Great Civics lesson.
