Answer 1

Which debate do you need this for? Tell me the topic and I’ll fill the chart specifically for that.

If you just want an example to turn in now, here’s a completed chart for the common debate topic “School Uniforms”:

Supporters say…
1. Uniforms reduce distractions and help students focus on learning rather than clothing choices.
2. Uniforms promote a sense of school unity and reduce visible economic or social differences.
3. Uniforms simplify morning routines and can increase safety by making outsiders easier to spot.

Critics say…
1. Uniforms limit students’ freedom of expression and individuality.
2. Uniforms don’t address root causes of bullying or inequality and can give a false sense of equality.
3. The cost of required uniforms can be a financial burden for some families.

If you want a different topic (e.g., social media in schools, online learning, school start times, homework policies, animal testing, universal basic income, etc.), tell me which one and I’ll fill the chart for that topic.
