Morality Debate Activity | The Line You Draw | ClaimLore

$14.99

The Line You Draw is a moral reasoning challenge. Students identify where they personally draw the ethical line across a series of escalating dilemmas, then defend their position using structured reasoning frameworks.

What is included

  • A ready-to-run challenge built around escalating scenarios, not a worksheet to fill in silently
  • Discussion prompts that push thinking beyond first reactions
  • Teacher facilitation notes for guiding discussion without steering the outcome
  • A polished PDF suitable for projection or small-group printing

Five reasoning lenses

Students locate and justify their personal boundaries using five lenses: Fairness, Consequences, Practical considerations, Values and Rights. The activity works as a standalone lesson or as a capstone alongside other debate resources.

Who it is for

Debate coaches, critical thinking instructors, language arts and social studies teachers, and homeschool facilitators (grades 6-9) who want one strong, ready-made activity that gets a room genuinely thinking.

Format: digital PDF download.

Hi, I'm Jerin Parker. I'm a debate and public speaking coach with almost ten years of teaching experience. Through competition, I earned the National Forensic League Quadruple Ruby, and I competed in debate and public speaking through high school and university in the TFA, UIL and NFL systems. I now coach World Scholar's Cup and SPAR debate. My ClaimLore resources use the Steelman Method: students argue the other side's case before making their own, so they learn to reason, listen, and speak with confidence.
