Debates

Yesterday was the first day of the civil liberties debates in Government.  I was very happy with the first set of debates. Every group went all the way or close to the five minute time limit. The arguments were well organized and prepared.  The rebuttals were not as strong, but that is harder to do. It is a totally different skill set. It is funny to see how badly many of the kids want to get into a give and take argument but can't in this format.
