Discussion For-Ummmm?

What I am gathering is that (mostly) everyone enjoyed the debates. Is this something that you would like incorporated into class more often? (Obviously we would not spend as much time on it, as it was rather time consuming, but would you be interested?)

I also thought we could have discussion days. On Fridays (or on whichever said day) we could spend 15 minutes or so discussing topics that range from capital punishment to pop culture to the next presidential campaign.

Any takers?

Make sure you scroll to the bottom of the screen to find more posts. Respond so that you are writing roughly a paragraph--one that allows people to respond back to you in a detailed manner! =)

Also, there are some posts in December (on the right side of your screen) to which I would like you to respond!

yes I deff. think that we should do that because the debates in class were sooooooo much fun! But we should debate on other topics besides books and do debates so the whole class can get a chance to speak out instead of just three ppl =]

It is a good idea...but we all turn against each other. After our English class, we all go to Global together and continue our "fights". Ms. Geist...how is our class supposed to be able to discuss things for 15 minutes when people cannot even keep their mouths shut? It takes you a couple of minutes to quiet our class down...and if we have an open discussion about our opinions, somebody is going to end up hating someone else's opinion and it would cause chaos.

It would be a cool way to get our opinions out in the open...but not everybody agrees...and that is a major problem in our class.

It doesn't have anything to do with drama at first, but it causes drama
