Preparation for Debate and Asylum Notes

    In today's class we spend the first part preparing for a debate over asylum tomorrow. Mr. Schick wanted to see if we were mature enough to have this debate, and hopefully we proved to him that we are. First, we got to see who was neutral, pro, and anti before we started to get a baseline. We then decided how it was going to be run, and we decided that Mr. Schick would moderate the debate instead of leading in. I think this is a good change, because it lets us express ourselves easier, and it seems like an interesting idea. For the rest of class we talked about asylum, and what it includes. Asylum is granted to those suffering from discrimination in race, nationality, religion, political beliefs, and social groups. I look forward for our debate tomorrow, and I am excited to see how it turns out.
