Hints for uses in your library This activity will require careful facilitation, as debates can sometime lead to arguments. Be sure to set some ground rules at the beginning, including no interrupting when others are talking, using considerate language, and holding to time limits for people to speak. This could provide a great opportunity to bring in stakeholders from your community as guest speakers.
