We have been discussing Debate in class. Students should have notes from a power point presentation, they have viewed a video example and we have discussed the assignment. I have uploaded a copy of the assignment to the blog (its in the pages section to the right hand side). If you loose any of the assignment sheets you can access them here. Any questions about the assignment students should come speak with me.
These are the resolution statements that the students came up with today. Students NEED to understand that just because you debate a topic for English class does not mean anything at Fielding will change.
~School dress code should be updated with the times
~Canada should have a Monarchy
~Cats are better pets then dogs
~Fighting should be banned from hockey
~Fielding should have school uniforms
~Students should be allowed to use Ipod during independent work times
~Students should not have homework
~Playing a musical instrument should be optional
~Girls should be allowed to join boys school teams
~There should be a female national hockey league (it should have as much publicity as the NHL)
~Math should always be taught in English for EFI students
~Quebec should be its own country
~Video games should be banned
~Animals should not be in zoo's for people amusement
~Should dogs be allowed in restaurants and other indoor public places.
Tomorrow we miss English for the "Are you smarter then a Math Teacher" activity. For Monday please make sure you have your top 3 choices and a partner in mind.
I AM STILL MISSING WORK :( please get in all missing work ASAP
