Another Debate - Presenting a persuasive argument!

This week saw the last group achieve their debate based on the motion: Kids today are too spoilt.

Each team spoke well, both clarifying their points through rebuttals and speaking clearly and concisely.

The opposition team won as their argument made a clearer and stronger case according to the judges. They kept their opposition on their toes with some strong rebuttals.

Some time was spent reflecting on our debates, what made the winning arguments stronger and how we could improve for next time.

Next time we will link it directly to our Unit of Inquiry: Marketplace and see what happens.
