Debate Research

Good Morning!

 Please put your cell phones completely out of sight for the FULL duration of the class.  Please do not have me remind you of this. NOTE: Please bring a book to class vs. reading a book on your phone. 

1.  Independent  Reading -- Please read for a bit before we get started.   

2. Debate Topic -- Yesterday you chose a debate group and topic.  Today, I am giving you the debate assignment, the debate format, and a sample of a Works Cited page. Your preparation for the debate requires research for evidence to support your position.  

Be sure to record the information from the site that you used. A good way to do that is to create a document and name it "Works Cited."  Then paste the citation information into that document. Your group has made a decision about who will take the PRO and CON positions.  Today we will begin the research.
