Debate

In our Social Studies Unit, we have been studying the value of a democratic system. Now you have your chance to let your voice be heard! Our Principal has asked the teachers to come up with a way to raise money for our school.

1. First you need to answer the following question in your Social Studies Journal.

Should students sell products or collect money for schools?

2. Next, view the following website. Budget Debate (http://www.nea.org/neatoday/0311/debate.html) Read both the yes and no viewpoints. Decide which viewpoint is closest to yours. Please obtain a paper ballot from your teacher and cast your vote. The results of the school wide vote will be announced on Friday.
