That's Debatable - Writing Prompt

 

Debate   

To discuss a question by considering opposed arguments

 

Last night people all across America tuned in to watch the Presidential Debate. The purpose for the debate was to clarify their position on issues important to voters and to convince people that their viewpoint is correct.

 

Write a story wherein two of the main characters have very different beliefs on a subject important to both of them.

 

Suggestions: Use dialogue to move the story forward.  Show how the characters feel about the subject by the way they say things. Do they stand straight or do they lean toward one another and use gestures?
