Today we focused on preparing for your debate. Here is what you are to do: Distill your essay down into a 60 to 90 second spoken argument. It's okay to have notes, but you are not to read to us. Your argument should be at least 60 seconds, but should not exceed 90 seconds. During the debate, both sides will go, and then both sides will be afforded a 30 second rebuttal period. We will then decide as a class, who has the more persuasive argument.
Your homework is to prepare the debate, which will begin on Monday, and to read for 20 minutes tonight. Your final exam review guide is posted on an earlier post.
