Debate

Mason and Mallory both participated in a debate in speech class today. The resolution was "The United States should significantly reform its environmental policy." They did not know if they were going to be speaking on the affirmative or negative side until they got there. They both drew affirmative. Their teams did not debate each other, although that would have been
interesting!
Mason giving the first affirmative constructive.
This is Mason being cross examined.
Trying to come up with good arguments.
Mallory's affirmative constructive.
This was a spirited cross examination!


This is not a good video, but it shows a bit of the cross examination.

Mal's cross examination would not load. Here is a bit of her affirmative constructive.

Julie - does this bring back memories?

Don't think I could beat them in a debate! I can't pull up the videos on my iPad, but will on my other computer. So proud of you two!
