The Great Debate!
Topics for the debate are chosen by the teacher from things covered in class and current events. Students sign up for a topic (the yay or nay side) and then research it on their own. The are presenting what they know unscripted. This is not only a good way to assess what they have learned about a topic they are interested in, but to encourage life-long learners.
This video is from the Teaching Channel, and takes place in a high school economics classroom.
