Now you will write opening and closing statements for your debate. Each statement should be one to three minutes long.

The opening statement will introduce the topic of the argument and should include the following elements:

a hook that grabs the attention of the audience
a presentation of the topic of the speech
a thesis statement that will note a clear purpose or message of the speech
The closing statement helps bring the debate to an end and should include the following elements:

a reminder of the purpose of the debate
a summary of the main points made during the debate
a note on why your argument is better than your opponent's argument
Remember, no new arguments should be presented in the closing statement.
