    This document outlines a two-lesson plan that debates whether mobile devices should be allowed in an 8th grade English Language Arts class. In the first lesson, students will be paired up and assigned to argue either for or against bringing devices to class. They will research arguments and counterarguments. In the second lesson, students will create presentations of their arguments on VoiceThread and rebut other pairs' arguments by commenting on their VoiceThreads. The goal is for students to understand different perspectives on this issue and strengthen their debate skills.
