You will be assigned a "role" to play (e.g., Patent Lawyer, CEO of a tech company, Average Citizen, etc...) but you will have some flexibility on whether you debate for or against the position. Your position may change over the course of the debate (it's up to you) but before and after the debate, we will have a class vote to see where we stand on the issue.

To prepare, you should spend some time thinking about and/or reading up about these two topics. You will get a little bit of time to prepare tomorrow but the more prepared you are, the more fruitful I expect the debate to be so be sure to look up facts, precedents, policies, and add them in as a comment below if you want to collect them all in one place for easy access.
