Propositions Debate HW: Due Fri 10/31
October 30, 2008
Prepare your notes for the class debate on your assigned proposition. Each group (pro/con) will have 1 minute each to present their argument (for or against the proposition) and 1 minute for a rebuttal/closing. Because of time constraints, there will not be time for each group to make closing remarks.
The class will vote on each proposition after all the debates have been completed.
Get your game face on!
