I really liked the debate because I liked seeing what other people had to say about their point of view. Also, for me, it was kind of hard to argue and get some good points because I didn't really support my point of view {British}.

I thought the debate was interesting and it was a good way to help us study. It was very difficult to think of some good facts and comebacks against the other side. Some of the posters were really awesome and I have never felt so much power in my Social Studies class before, and I hope we can do it again!
ReplyDeleteGREAT JOB 5th GRADE!!!!!!

I think that the fifth grade did an awesome job.The only thing I thought that didn't go well was that every now and then one or both of the side s wouldn't have a very strong point in view, and why they want you to pay taxes or get rid of taxes.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad to hear/read that you enjoyed the debate! It was exciting for me to get to see a different side to my students as you used your knowledge and persuasive tactics to argue your point of view! I am sure we can find another good issue to debate this year, now that your debating skills have been broken in.
ReplyDeleteMrs.Colcord I do agree with you on how we can find another thing to debate on I really enjoyed it so please do another one with us please Mrs.Colcord. Jacob Roy
ReplyDeleteI am always so impressed with the critical thinking that Mrs. Colcord's class shares when they work on their projects. They have done a really great job using logic and higher level thinking to persuade and share points of view. Thank you all for your hard work and effort. I can't wait to see some of you on the Senate floor someday!
ReplyDeleteMrs. Kuras is really proud of you.
I enjoyed the debate. I liked coming up with ideas on what to put on our posters. In my class, each side chose one person to represent each debate/sign. Then, if someone else wanted to say something, they stood up or raised their hand. After that, the representative could find out what they wanted to add. I think that was a good way to do the debate without a lot of noise.

I think the debate was really cool. It was fun to come up with different ways to argue with the other country. I hope we do something like that again sometime soon!
