Debate (50 points) Each speaker will have between 2 and 3 minutes to make their argument and will be penalized for going shorter or longer than that period of time. The debates will take place on the Thursday after we return from break. Students need to come in with their texts ready to outline arguments and gather support on Tuesday, and then with an outline of their arguments on Wednesday. Groups will then rehearse, and debates will take place on Thursday January 7th.
