Great Lakes Debate!


On Thursday students participated in our inaugural classroom debate, "Health of the Great Lakes Ecosystem." Students selected a position as a "Great Lakes Booster" or a "Great Lakes Doomer" whereby students used background information from our classroom work to debate the current health of the Great Lakes and created a mini-poster with claims.  Those students in two of the blocks were able to debate with and against with Ms. Bamford's class in a cross-program debate which was a unique experience too!  This was a great opportunity to hear the positions and supporting details of these young debaters!  The video segments did not turn out and will post a video when the next debate falls on us.  Thank you debaters for a fun day!
