Work in pairs on the first two cases only. For each case, follow the three beats on the board: name the two rights (2 minutes), say what each person stands to lose (2 minutes), then commit to a verdict (1 minute).
After the reveal, treat it as one careful argument, not a mark scheme, and push back before you move on.
Side A, Side B, and Hold both are equally honest when both rights have been named. You do have to say why you agree or disagree.
Now vote on the cases on your own device. Everyone commits silently first, before anyone argues. We will put the splits on the board and hear the strongest voice on the case that divides the room most.
Changing your mind after a stronger reason is a civic skill, not a loss.
Talk in pairs, then share one line with the class if you want to.
Which case did you change your mind on, and what changed it?
If nothing moved you, name the strongest reason you heard on the side you still reject.
