A Debate
　　The teacher says, " We all know that Marie Curie was a great woman scientist. Her are two opinions about her success. One is that she succeeded because she married Pierre Curie, a university professor at that time, and he and his fame actually helped her become famous. In fact, Marie Curie was not so outstanding as nowadays we think she was. Another idea is that Marie Curie's success is based on her hard work , brightness and the belief in herself. I'll divide all of you students into two groups and each of you can only be for one opinion and against the other. You have to show your evidence for the opinion that you support. When you show your idea and try to defeat those who are on the other side publicly, that is called "a debate". I'll give you some time after class to prepare for the debate. You can try your best to look for information about the Curies and you are supposed to put down what you think in your writing book. Then we'll hold a live debate and some students will be chosen to give their representation."
The teacher gives the students some time and necessary help in their looking for information and writing. Then an oral debate between two groups of four students each. After that, a rewriting of the debate.
