Show transcript
The motion is the name for the belief or proposal that is being debated.
The motion in a debate always starts with the words 'This house ...'.
There are different types of motion: beliefs ('This house believes that ...') and proposals ('This house would ...').
A debate motion is most effective when it is relevant to the lives of the people in the debate and the audience.
An effective debate motion will encourage critical thinking and mature discussion.
