Following the first hour spent in Strozier, I let Ahmed pick another article from ProCon.org that he would want to read. To my surprise, he chose an article on the legalization of gay marriage. He had a strong opinion on the topic, so we had a pre-reading discussion on the presence of gay marriage in both of our cultures, in addition to cultural attitudes toward it. After our discussion, Ahmed read the article, and I instructed him to create a debate platform. He especially enjoys debates, because his speaking skills are advanced, and it allows him to fine tune those skills. We had a small debate, and i provided counter points for each of his stances, making sure to be culturally sensitive. Ahmed showed good debate etiquette, and he respect each of my opinions while providing his own evidence to support his stance.
