Debate Success!

Everyone did a wonderful job presenting their side of the debate.  Students have spent the week researching their topics and working with their team to present evidence and facts to support their argument.  They spend part of the time rehearsing: working on the sequencing of their presentation, introductions, making eye contacting, annunciation, and speaking loudly.
 
Topic: Is having a small dog, like a tea cup poodle, as class pet a good idea? 

The Pro Team: Ethan, Angelene, Joyce, Addie, Isabella
The Con Team: Jonna, Sophia, Ashley, Eva, Brady
The Alternative Team: Mary Kate, Conor, JT, Cadence, Jake

The judges were complimentary of all of the students, but they were very impressed with the use of multi-media and evidence presented by the Con Team. 

A special thank you to our judges: Mr. John Harper from the Bartlett Animal Shelter, Mrs. Grady, and Mrs. Borkowski.

(And thank you to Mrs. Stokes for stepping in and taking pictures -- my camera wasn't working).
