The Great Debate
The ultimate activity of the year, after much discussion, research, and essay-writing, was the Eighth Grade DEBATE on the controversial issue of professional athlete’s salaries. Selected students battled their peers in a live debate before an audience of students, teachers, and judges. Each debater had to prepare an argument supported with research, as well as cross-examination questions. There were many impressive and even humorous moments that captivated the audience. At the conclusion of the debate, audience members gave words of encouragement, and debaters self-reflected on their performance. It was definitely the highlight of the year!
