    The document outlines an alternative debate format called 3E2. Each team has 5 speakers who present arguments for their assigned side in an alternating fashion. Speaker 1 for each team provides an overview of the debate topic and their team's position. Speakers 2 and 3 then present two main arguments to support their team's stance, citing evidence. Speaker 4 rebuts the opposing team's arguments and defends their own position. Finally, Speaker 5 summarizes their team's points and concludes by restating their stance. The goal of this modified format is to facilitate teaching argumentative writing skills.
