Debate Assignment
Course outcomes addressed in this Assignment:
MN507-1: Debate healthcare reform effects on stakeholders.

In Unit 2 you chose a policy issue that interests your group.
For this Assignment your group will be divided into two, with one side in favor
of the policy change and the other side opposed to it. You will work with your
debate side group member to create a presentation that puts forth your side’s
argument. Your presentation will be a combination of slides (PowerPoint, Google
Slides, or Prezi) and video (created in Movenote). Movenote allows you to
create a video inset that plays over your slides. In this way, you can combine
the two, presenting your ideas in video as you display your slides. Please view

this Assignment will be a transcript of your Movenote presentation with a link
