If you wish to simply see the layout AND AN EXAMPLE, see below


ISSUE analysis: In order to identify what people will be arguing regarding the propositions, it is important to identify what will be the main issues (themes) addressed. Your team needs to do an ISSUE ANALYSIS for each of the propositions. They are all included here.

The following one is an example:
Proposition: Implementing school uniforms is better for the learning environment


Issues:
How so/What each side would say about it
Facts (PROOF)
**Bullying
Pro- uniforms help cut down on bullying because kids won’t be judged on their clothes
Con- bullying will still happen with focusing on other aspects. Might even be harder to tell who is being bullied, because everyone blends in
When I google “bullying” and “school uniforms”, I came up with ________

(I would need to find facts to support the pro and to support the con)
**Money
Pro- uniforms make it so that parents don’t have to spend as much on clothes
Con- some parents can’t afford expensive uniforms, so poorer kids will end up with raggy uniforms, which will stand out even more
For this I searched “money issues” + “implementing school uniforms”. The facts I got from this website say that ______

(I would need to find facts to support the pro and to support the con)
**Individuality/ Freedom of expression
Pro- kids can find other ways that are less materialistic and superficial to express themselves. Kids won’t have to do it in their clothing, crying out for attention or dressing just to get noticed.
Con- kids, as young adults, should be allowed to dress according to the identity they are creating for themselves. By taking away a sense of identity, kids will feel uncomfortable, therefore, unable to learn to the best of their ability.
(I would need to find facts to support the pro and to support the con)
**Safety
Pro- young people will be known as students and identified in communities as students, cutting back on too much adult/children inappropriate interactions
Con- Children in uniforms will be recognizable from far away and could become easy targets, especially teenage girls.
(I would need to find facts to support the pro and to support the con)
**Culture
Pro- Students can have specific days dedicated to culture, giving it an opportunity to be well planned and shine in an effort to honor one’s culture. Or, kids that don’t feel they have a culture, won’t feel left out.
Con- Students can’t dress according to their culture, taking away their sense of identity for their culture.
