Block Day, May 3/4 ~ Practice Debate

GRAMMAR

CLASS DEBATE
  • Who will be the openers? closers?
  • What are your main 3-4 areas of argument?
  • Remember that you will only get extra credit if you speak at some point in the debate AND if your team wins.



Topics from yesterday:
  • Should women be allowed in combat?
  • Should animal testing be banned?
  • Should Monte Vista stop having a dress code?
  • Should it be illegal for kids under the age of 5 to play video games?
  • Should violent video games be banned?
  • Is Twitter really better than Instagram? (or Facebook, etc...)
  • Do school uniforms help the learning environment? 
  • Should cigarettes really be illegal for adults under 21? 

HW: Finish up any research you still need to do. Have you figured out how to organize and share all of this with your partner?
