🎙 IDPS JOCKIES – Grade 5 Debate Announcement


Debate Topic:
*Is reading books better than watching TV and using mobile phones?*
🗓 When?
Monday morning, before assembly

📚 Teams:
Team A (5A): Reading books is better
Team B (5B): TV and mobile phones are better
🟢 Team A: YES – Reading Books is Better
1. Improves imagination and creativity
Example: When you read Harry Potter, you imagine how Hogwarts looks in your mind. It’s your own magical world!
2. Builds strong vocabulary and language skills
Example: Reading books like Charlotte’s Web teaches new words and how to use them in sentences.
3. No screen time side effects
Example: After watching cartoons for hours, your eyes might hurt, but books don’t do that.
4. Helps focus and concentration
Example: Finishing a chapter in The Magic Tree House requires full attention—you can’t just skip to the end!
5. Better for academic success
Example: Students who read often usually do better in language tests and essays.
6. No distractions or pop-ups
Example: When reading a storybook, nothing interrupts you, unlike mobile games with ads or notifications.
7. Improves memory and thinking skills
Example: To follow the Percy Jackson series, you have to remember characters and events from previous books.
8. Books can go anywhere, no battery needed
Example: You can read your favorite comic on a train or during a power cut.
9. Boosts empathy and understanding
Example: Reading Wonder helps you understand how children with differences feel at school.
10. Encourages quiet time and relaxation
Example: Reading before bed calms your mind, unlike screen time which can keep you awake.
🔵 Team B: NO – TV and Mobile Phones are Better
1. Visual learning helps many kids
Example: Watching a video about the solar system shows how planets move, which is harder to picture in a book.
2. Access to educational content
Example: Watching National Geographic Kids teaches about animals and science in a fun way.
3. Makes learning fun and engaging
Example: Math games on mobile apps make learning multiplication like a fun race.
4. Helps in communication and tech skills
Example: Using Google Docs or chatting on safe school platforms teaches how to use digital tools.
5. Quick access to latest information
Example: You can watch the news to learn what’s happening in the world today, which books can’t update.
6. Builds real-world skills
Example: You can learn to draw by watching a YouTube tutorial step-by-step.
7. Encourages teamwork and sharing
Example: Kids play multiplayer games or work on school projects together using tablets.
8. Can be used for creative expression
Example: You can record a video, make a podcast, or create digital art on your phone.
9. Flexible and portable
Example: A single tablet can have 100 books, videos, and games—no need to carry a heavy bag.
10. Some people find reading boring or hard
Example: Kids with reading difficulties can watch audiobooks or videos to understand the same content.*
