Are you ready for policy debates? Ready to say "should"??? It's the last speech of the semester, hooray!!! You will need to blog in with a 5 line minimum this week and confirm
1. who your partner is
2. who you are
3. one pro
4. and one con issue you envision see about working with and debating against this person.
You must agree on an issue involving public, state or local government and the debate will argue both sides of the issue, each of you choosing one side and suggesting or PROPOSING action in the form of a "should statement," or imperative. "Pro-" is the argument to leave current policy, law or practice alone: If it aint broke...the other side, or "con" says we need to make some changes and you propose what those changes would be. This speech is worth a lot so get started. [Recka, you and Kayo will work together, fyi.] Most of you know who you will work with. Also, first blog first served when it comes to choosing speech dates, so in your posting, sign up to go either a week from Monday, April 18th, or the following Wed 4/20 or two weeks from Monday on April 25th. You may claim your order on that day as well. If you miss your proposal speech, you may not make it up. Don't forget the extra credit rookie debate is coming up later this month. With forty points possible to make up, think about it! Also, all of your fallacy assignments are now graded and any grading update requests should be requested to me by email if you need to see where you stand with points. ALSO-----This website gives some policy topic ideas to help you prepare for your speech ideas. http://www.ncpa.org/sid/

Looking good so far, the topics and partnerships sound lively! Does anyone want to take the Terry Shivo issue of pulling the feeding tube? What about something to do with the Catholic church since The Pope stuff has been in the news so much. Think of current topics that are circulating lots of research sources. What about the law behind the Michael Jackson case? The court recently agreed to allow previous accusations to be admitted as evidence, which is unique to child molestation cases, all other criminal cases won't allow past records to be considered unless there was a conviction...See, lots of good topics out there...
1 - My partner is the lovely... *drumroll* MONICA ALLEJE.
2 - Ehh... it's just Katrina.
3 - PRO: we get along =]
4 - CON: finding resources
5 - humpday... 4/25 please and thank you.
1. My partner Tatyana.
2. I'm Martin.
3. Pro: Tatyana was a good speaker in past speeches and we get along.
4. Con: Tatyana's speech skills will make it harder for me to win since I'm arguing against her.
This is KEVIN'S post, not Martin's my computer isn't working still...
1. My partner is that greasy Italian kid named Gaetano.
2. I'm Kevin that guy with long hair and looks like Jesus or Jim Morrison depending on who you are.
3. A pro is that G is my roommate and it will be easier to get our work done when we procrastinate until the night before.
4. The only con is that I'm gonna embarass the shit out of him with my masterful orating skills.
