Secretary+of+Social+Change+-+FA12


 * Background Information**
 * It is early 1969, and the height of the movements for social change in America. As President Nixon, my goal is to find a close advisor to help me deal with all of the social groups and their demands for reform. Therefore, I will be creating a position in my cabinet calling for a Secretary of Social Change. It is your goal to persuade me to hire you for that position.**

Procedure **for the Debate** Students may use note cards only - no papers or books. You may not read directly from the note cards unless you are quoting something brief and specific. You must speak during the debate as if you are the actual persons you are portraying. You will each be given a name tag and a list of debate participants and must refer to other students by the name that is on the name tag. Before each student speaks, he/she should stand, introduce himself/herself, and deliver a little background information about the character he/she is portraying. Any student can begin the debate. When the first student finished, the next student (preferably from the opposition) should either address what has been said, or express another concern. Students should also take notes during the debate. The debate/dscussion will be monitored so that everyone has at least one opportunity to speak and so that no one person monopolizes the discussion. Students who do not participate in the debate will receive a grade of 0.
