How Cosmos Works in Classrooms
Assign topics about source material
These would be key themes of the source material you would typically discuss in class.
Students pair up to debate
Classroom management tools allow you to see who is active and paired up with one another.
Students debate topics for 10 mins
Cosmos created a new debate format called bullet debating that is fast, fun, easy to approach, and requires to preparation.
Students are given 2 minutes to prepare
Students make 30 second opening remarks (introduction)
When one side is speaking, their time counts down.
Their timer will keep running until the first side interrupts or their time runs out.
After every debate students see an analysis of the arguments made and get feedback on what they did well and how they could have done better.
Track Student Activity & Performance
As a teacher you can review summaries of every debate your students did and see the feedback given to them.
Get class Performance Summaries
After your class completes a task, such as debating a key theme, Cosmos gives you an analysis on how your students performed, who is at risk, and what ideas you should review as a class together to address weaknesses.
