On Tuesday you will be assigned a group and you will begin writing your case. On Wednesday you will finish writing your case and you will email it to me so I can print it out for you.

Debates will be 3/4 vs. 3/4 and each person will have the opportunity to speak. You will deliver your case and your opponent will do the same. You will then question your opponent on their case.
