Knowledge/Skill Building
🎤 Defense Panel Rehearsal & Evidence Drill
Students practice their 3-minute defense speech in teams using their position paper and evidence log. Teammates pose likely counterarguments (e.g., economic vs. political causes) and require the speaker to cite at least one primary and one secondary source in response. Students use a simple checklist aligned to the rubric to give targeted feedback, then revise note cards.
