I object....to myself

Last Thursday, we did a great job of pushing through our self debates.
Haley tried to convince Haley that chocolate was unhealthy, or was it healthy?  Whatever it was, Haley seemed to be convinced that it was healthy as she finished off her chocolate Easter bunny during class.
John tried to convince us that following the Lego directions is the best way to build.  But then John swayed us to the side that trashed the directions and set out on a creative journey with the blocks.  Which side he falls on, we weren't quite sure.
Josh gave another information packed debate about arming police officers or disarming police officers.  Which one won out in the end?  We know where Great Britain lies.
David sought to convince the audience to arm teachers or NOT arm teachers. He left us all up in arms yearning for the usual passion he delivers.
We also had Mike drop by and try his hand at self-debate.  I'm still not sure which side he falls on with the whole homework debate, but it was great to have him in class : )! Maybe the fact that he joined us as co-op and gladly took up a debate assignment demonstrates his desire for homework.; )

Hannah and Paige have yet to deliver their self debates but we have been assured that they will come ready to face themselves.

This Thursday, we will be watching as Paige, Sage, Marley, and David once again present their court briefs.  Good luck!!  You are going to be amazing!!  Don't forget to power pose before hand :)! 
We need to be on our best audience behavior and take note of what YOU think they did right and what you think they could've changed.  We need to compile good feedback!  Also, this is a great chance for you to improve your own debate skills as you glean from their experience. 
Any remaining class time will be spent working on your activities.  We also need to BACK UP Hannah and Haley.  They are up to bat next with the Shakespeare fund raising bake sale.  Ask them for an assignment! 

Keep up-to-date with your activity planning!  What do you need to accomplish this week?  I know that Hannah and Haley need to make assignment reminders for the baking volunteers they so successfully procured last week!  Great job, gals!
