Another week of debates in class today! We are certainly able to tell the amount of preparation that went into your arguments. I hope you have found this assignment challenging. There are certain leaders that we always hear are either good or bad, but as you have found out, there are always both good and bad aspects of how they lead.
Have you noticed that all the winners from Thursday's debates argued against the common opinion regarding their assigned leaders?
When you hear of Fidel Castro, Vladimir Putin, and Che Guevara, you don't often hear that they are beloved leaders. But Hannah, Ethan Day, and Gabriel proved that wrong by doing a little bit of homework!
Overall, it was great that you all had the courage to stand up and debate! That is not always an easy thing, especially when you are fighting for something you DON'T believe in. But always remember this class is a practice ground for real world experiences. The more you practice now, the more confident you will be later—especially when you have to do it FOR REAL!
Next week is our LAST DAY OF CLASS!! I can't even believe it!
Thanks to all of you who turned in all your assignments and met all the class requirements. I believe there was a total of 8 people that received their full golden ticket!! Woohoo! You will find out WHERE we will be going next Thursday. Please bring your schedules so we can choose a date for our trip.
We have two debates to finish next week:
Paige vs. Spencer
Benjamin vs. Ethan Hellyer
Then we will receive our Field Day assignments from Ethan Day and Spencer.
And finally you will spend all your class money. So don't forget to bring it to class!
See you Thursday.
