One of the teachers in my department just did a demonstration for all of us on "deliberating democracy" that has been around, I believe, for about a year. The point is to have kids discuss differences on a wide variety of subjects and come to a consensus. The technique involved all kids in the classroom as opposed to a debate which only involves a few outspoken students. The methodology can be used to say compare two leaders in US history or an issue in government. Above is an explanation of it.
