You are asked to host a debate competition in your school. Design a code of conduct to establish rules of appropriate behavior among the participants.

Respuesta :

Answer:

No yelling or interrupting.

-It's improper and rude, and we should respect and support our peers.

No standing up in the middle of someone's speech

-Unless it is an emergency you should not be standing in the middle of another's pitch.

No talking / whispering to teammates

-The only conversation you should be having is about how much you support the speaker, no matter what team.

Curse words are not prohibited

-That's kind of obvious

If you have a question, raise your hand, but there is no need for the action to draw attention away from the speaker.

(Honestly, I know nothing about debate, but these are just the basics of classroom expectations, they go for almost anything, like business meetings. I'm pretty sure they can do well for a school debate team.)

Answer:

A code of conduct for a debate competition ensures that participants follow proper communication protocols. It is used to curb unwanted situations. My protocol will be as follows:

Participants should raise their hand when they want to speak. Speaking in between or cutting into someone else’s conversation will lead to a deduction in marks.

Participants should not shout or raise their voice to get their points across. They need to carry out the debate in a civilized manner.

Participants cannot use profanity and harsh words. This would lead to disqualification.

Participants will be given time to think and write down their thoughts before the debate begins. During this time, they will not be allowed to talk to one another.

There will be a moderator to ensure the debate is going as intended. Any misconduct or misdemeanor with the moderator will lead to immediate disqualification.
