1. Preparación (8 min): Poll, then teams huddle: review the debate format, assign speaking roles and rehearse openings with the 4-minute timer.
2. Formato y frases (5 min): Read the format table aloud. Students choose two debate phrases they promise to use.
3. El debate (22 min): Run each round with its timer. Audience members who are not speaking fill the note grid on paper (argument heard + possible response). Every student must speak at least once.
4. Rúbrica (3 min): Show the rubric before the debate starts or during transitions; score speakers during the debate.
5. Preguntas del público (6 min): Spin the roulette; audience asks either team. Teams answer in 30 seconds.
6. Comentarios y reflexión (6 min): Two stars and a wish for the other team; individual self-rating.
7. Boleto de salida (5 min): Exit ticket and confidence check.

For large classes, run two simultaneous debates (four teams) and float between them, or split the class into speakers and an audience panel that switches halfway. Encourage students to use their Day 93 paragraph as the opening statement but to speak from notes, not read.
