Room 8 Debates


Room 8 and their debates!

This week Room 8 have been completing debates. The topics that have been argued in the affirmative and negative are as follows:

- Boys and Girls should be educated seperately.
- Television is a waste of time.
- Homer Simpson is the perfect male.
- Going to school should be voluntary.
- Skateboarding on footpaths should be made legal.

Room 8 have shown the great skills that have been learnt in relation to debating and all been able to talk well about thier topics.

Talking in Room 8 is something that we try to promote and are generally very good at doing.

The class has learnt a lot about the format of how a debate starts, rebuttal and the different terminology used. The rebuttal has shown that everyone in Room 8 pays attention to what each other say, are able to give feedback and enjoy watching each other performing their debates.
