IF Logan gets a hug, THEN he will feel loved

What a great day to learn about debate!

Genevieve took us down the road of debate and showed us exactly what we can do to WIN!!  The key is focusing on fundamental truths!  That's it!  Easy peasey!   Not really, you need to use logic to take you from your proposition to your explanation and representation.  Connect this all to a fundamental truth and you've built a winning argument.

HOMEWORK:  Find and recognize if-then statements that occur in your life.  They are everywhere!  Take notice and write them down to share with us.

Also,  look at the arguments you have started to build for your upcoming debate.  Analyze whether they are supported by induction, deduction or if- then statements.  Write them out in the following format:

Proposition - Argument

R

O

P

Explanation - (because)

Representation - (example)

The debate format will go as follows:

Logan - Affirmative - 5 minutes

Morgan - Negative - 5 minutes

Morgan - Rebuttal - 5 minutes

Logan - Rebuttal - 5 minutes

Remember use your inductive reasons sparingly!!

Rely on FUNDAMENTAL TRUTHS!!

During our 2nd hour of class, Logan assigned everyone to a committee for his big scholar activity on April 9th.  He even assigned duties to each committee.  Great leading, Logan.

The committees are as follows:

Hat: Trey, Adam

Game: Logan, Morgan, Katie

Food: Jared, Logan

Next, Jared gave us a look into the life of Thomas Jefferson.  He identified his main influencer as George Wythe.  Plus, gave us a lot of amazing accomplishments of this great leader, including his spreading the popularity of macaroni and cheese in America.  This probably comes in second place only to writing the Declaration of Independence. : )

We also got to know our love languages.  As leaders it is SO important to show your appreciation and love to those working with you and for you.  This makes them WANT to work with and for you!  The 2nd level of leadership is building relationships and loving those you serve and serve with.  Thus, today we learned the five ways we can show love and get love.  You each took a little quiz that determined how you prefer to get love. We then discussed what each meant and gave great examples of how we could show love through each language. (Gifts, Physical Touch, Words of Affirmation, Acts of Service, Quality Time)

Your HOMEWORK is to identify someone's love language and then show them love using that language!  I want a report back.  And this is SO EASY!!! NO EXCUSES!!

And finally, we planned what is going to be an AMAZING spirit month.  I will send out the email announcement tonight.  So start dusting off your "cool hats" for next Thursday!

Katie - your leader presentation is NEXT WEEK!!

Merry, we missed you!

See you next week!
