Discuss with your group a few reasons for your choice. Choose two or three strong text-based pieces of evidence and choose a spokesperson. 3. Each side will share their evidence. Then, each side will have a chance to respond to that evidence, and offer new evidence. Those who are undecided may at anytime join the group the agree with most.

The combination of these contradicting elements serves to reveal a paradox, confuse or give the reader a laugh.
