Today, both periods impressed me with excellent debating skills. You presented valid claims, supported them (for the most part) with SPECIFIC facts taken directly from your research this week, and you listened to the other side and responded effectively, attempting to refute the other's side's reasoning.
Next Friday we will debate the answer to the question "Should advertising in schools be allowed?"
The Blast should be present in your studysync account starting today if you want to get started. Remember, you can "blast away" anytime!
Tuesday I will check your annotations on the editorial "Felons and the Right to Vote." Look for claims of fact, value, and policy.
In addition to advertising in schools, we will be examining closely arguments about steriods in sports, as well as academic pressure in school.
Have a good weekend!
