Debate

Tomorrow we are going to start off the morning with a debate about the topics we can chose to do our posters on. The class was split into four groups using our star signs; two groups are focusing of the flag debate and two are focusing on private school vs public school. Our group was given the position anti flag change.

Our group brainstormed arguments for why we should keep the flag such as the history, the money the change is going to cost and what it could better be spent on, how it could never represent everyone in New Zealand etc. We tried to think of what arguments the opposing team would come up with to make sure we had ideas for counter arguments.

As I was not chosen as a speaker for my group (there could only be three speakers) I had to research the topic to find facts to back up our claims and give our points impact.
