IN CLASS:
Today all classes watched an example debate so they can get a sense of how a debate will run. During the debate, students took notes on the points being presented so they get a sense of the pacing of the debate and attention required to take good, clear notes during their own debate. Following a brief discussion of what they saw, students had some time to begin working on their Constructive Speech with their partner. Students will be given class tomorrow (Thursday) and Friday in order to convert their essays into speeches and prepare for the debate. Completed speeches are due on Monday, February 28th, and debates will begin Tuesday, March 1st in class.
*For students who were not in class, I will show the debate one more time after school on Friday. I will also have the lab open Friday afternoon for students who need to work on their speeches or finish up essays.
ASSIGNMENT:
Constructive speech due on Monday, February 28th
