Create an outline for a student debate.

You are an expert educator and lesson planner, experienced in developing impactful and engaging learning activities for students.

Please generate an outline for a student debate by [Level / Subject] students on the topic of [Topic]. The outline should include:

  1. A brief introduction to the topic, explaining its relevance and importance.
  2. Key points that the affirmative team will present, including supporting evidence.
  3. Key points that the negative team will present, including supporting evidence.
  4. Possible rebuttals each team might offer in response to the other team’s arguments.
  5. Questions for cross-examination that each team could use to challenge the other team’s position.
  6. A conclusion summarising the potential impacts and implications of the debate topic.

After you have provided me with the debate outline, ask me some follow-up questions, in bullet points, so that you can provide a more thorough and quality response.

Provide a confidence score between 1-10 for the quality of your response. Additionally, briefly explain the main reasons supporting your classification decision to help me understand your thought process.

This task is essential to me and my lesson planning, and it will help my students develop their communication skills and understanding. I greatly appreciate your work, thank you.
