The Dance off Debate: How to refresh classroom discussion - RUN-DMC, Jason Nevins - It's Like That

Classroom debates can be a little wearisome for students and so I used this video to enliven a debate about the UK'S membership of the EU with a group of sixth formers. We cleared a big space. Each student from either side was able to step forward and 'do a little dance' and say their piece, finishing off with the the phrase 'It's like that...and that's the way it is!'. I played the music in the background as each student walked forward and then back to their place. Nothing particularly incredible as a technique, but it made the debate FUN and they will remember it!
