How do you translate logic from book knowledge to a living skill? How do you inculcate a practical logic ability in your students that they will carry with them after the test is over? These are the questions I asked myself when I noticed that my students’ passing grades on logic tests were not translating over to the application of logic outside the classroom or across other subjects. This workshop will be about some of the methods and assignments I use to solve this problem: namely the extensive use of debates as a teaching tool and logical exercise. I’ll explain why debates are so useful as an exercise in logic, the benefits students derive from debates, how I set up and coach students through our debate projects, and finally, you may even get a chance to experience this for yourself in an impromptu mini debate.
