DEBATE K-W-L-

For the first step, you will create a K-W-L chart for both sides of your argument.

--You must create a bullet for FOUR pro (for the proposition) and FOUR con (against)

--For the WANT to know section, there should be more than one question asked that are related to each other.

--For the LEARNED section, these should be researched from the WANT to know section

--You can work together in your debate group, but each person is responsible for one.

--BE thorough, write small, as this is what you will use for your debate argument.

*Proposition: All vegetable diet is unhealthy for the human body

Pro? (Agree) Con? (Disagree)	K- (Know)	W- (Want to Know)	L- (Learned)
PRO	1. Meat has protein that the body needs in order to grow and develop strong muscles	*Are there other ways the body can get the nutrients from meat? *What foods provide strong nutrients?	*The proteins found in meat are also found in nuts, eggs, and some vegetables, like avocados
PRO	2. The body needs to consume a lot of calories in order to run, just like a car needs gas in order to run	*How many calories does the human body need to consume? *How many calories are in the typical vegetarian diet?
PRO	3.
CON	1. Most meat grown in the U.S. is from a CAFO and not an actual pasture where they can roam and be healthy	*How does how animals are raised impact what we consume? *How are animals raised and maintained *What are they fed and does that pass to people?	*Animals are pumped full of antibiotics because they live in bad conditions and then the meat is processed with chemicals and we consume that. All of that means we aren’t eating “healthy” just because we are eating meat.
CON	2. A lot of people who are vegetarian aren’t obese and in better physical shape.	*Why are vegetarians so lean and fit? *Do vegetarians eat junk food? *What is in a typical vegetarian diet? *What percentage of vegetarians are obese? *Why that percentage?
