| Summary |
Summarize the other team's presentation by boiling it down into 3 or 4 points. Then comment on these points highlight areas of agreement and disagreement. Be critical but also be respectful and fair in your criticism. Have you fairly represented the other team's position or have you caricatured it? Have you addressed your criticisms to the argument of the other team without personalizing them? |
| Conclusion |
Conclude by thanking the other team and summarizing your agreement and disagreement with their key points. |
| Criteria |
Be sure to address the four criteria in your Commentary: intelligibility, ethical relevance, ethical irrelevance, and moral imagination. |
Scoring criteria
-
Intelligibility includes three skills or abilities: (A) the ability to construct and compare multiple arguments representing multiple viewpoints; (B) the ability to construct arguments and provide reasons that are clear, coherent, and factually correct; (C) evidence of realizing the virtue of reasonableness by formulating and presenting value integrative solutions?
-
Integrating Ethical Relevance includes three skills: (A) presenting positions that are clearly reversible between stakeholders; (B) identifying and weighing key consequences of positions considered; (C) developing positions that integrate values like integrity, responsibility, reasonableness, honesty, humility, and justice.
-
Avoiding ethical irrelevance involves focusing your comments on those aspects of the case that are directly relevant to the ethical import of the case and the question. Complicating the presentation with commentary on legal, political, financial, or technical aspects of the case can pull your argument off its tracks unless you clearly show the audience how these matters relate to the ethical aspects of the case and question.
-
Moral Imagination and Creativity demonstrate four skill sets: (A) ability to clearly formulate and frame ethical issues and problems; (B) ability to provide multiple framings of a given situation; (C) ability to identify and integrate conflicting stakeholders and stakes; (D) ability to generate solutions and positions that are non-obvious, i.e., go beyond what is given in the situation.
