Class today revolved around preparing for a debate / Socratic Seminar in class tomorrow.
Groups were formed and prepared to argue for or against celebrity soda advertisements.
Basically the groups:
Shared their arguments; anticipated counter arguments; prepared a sequence of arguments; prepared points of rebuttal.
The rules for the discussion will be:
Each "side" takes turns.
No one on a side may speak again unless all on that side have spoken the same number of times.
During the "debate" there will be observers who will observe and record what is said; what arguments are rebutted, what arguments are conceded or acknowledged.
The observers will determine which group "won" the debate and winning teams will receive extra credit. The topic of soda and advertising will be the focus of an in-class writing work sample this week.
The class also discussed the Restaurant Review which is due Thursday. Anyone wanting some help is encouraged to attend tutorial on Tuesday.
