In a classroom debate about student rights in school, a high school teacher asks if students should be allowed to leave campus for their lunch period. She divides her classroom into two groups and assigns each group one side of the discussion. Each group is assigned to come up with seven reasons to support their side and then present their reasons to the class. What is likely the teacher’s intended purpose of this activity?
