We will be having our DBQ debate this week. You will be divided in to three pro and three con groups. You will have 45 minutes to prepare your arguments/counter arguments and opening/closing statements. Then, one pro and one con group will actually debate. The other groups will be the debate judges.
We will also begin current events this week! I hope you are all reading the newspaper or watching the news!!
Don't forget the essay is due the first day after break. For those of you who hand it in before Friday at 5:00, October 26th, I will give you extra credit on your overall homework grade.
