🗳️ Horizon: The First Formal Debate
The debate module’s task lesson. Learners run the complete formal format with all roles — proposition, opposition, chair, timekeeper — using signposted openings, acknowledge-and-counter rebuttals and no-new-argument summaries. In the story, Marco concedes his way to victory, Sam’s “suggests, not proves” attack lands, and a phone ban almost nobody wanted wins nine votes to seven because the audience votes on arguments, not popularity. Homework: steel-man the other side.
